40th of 232 primary schools in Suffolk we can score, 253 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,294 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Woodbridge Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Woodbridge Primary School “enjoy coming to school” and feel safe, keen to learn, and well-behaved. The inspection found that the school has improved since the previous visit, delivering an “ambitious and broad curriculum” where teachers possess strong subject knowledge and pupils achieve well. Leaders have fostered a culture of respect, supporting positive personal development and effective early years provision.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate high levels of engagement, described as “kind and polite,” with a consistent approach to behaviour that has a “positive impact.”
- The curriculum is enriched by “carefully chosen trips and visitors” and community events, helping pupils develop confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.
- Reading is a high priority, supported by an “established phonics programme” and daily ‘drop everything and read’ sessions, ensuring younger pupils become fluent readers.
- Staff accurately identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), providing appropriate support that enables them to make “positive progress.”
- Leaders have created a “culture of respect that celebrates differences,” contributing to pupils’ understanding of their emotions and safety.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the school has not mapped out important concepts, making it difficult for pupils to connect current learning with previous knowledge.
- Teachers in some subjects do not use assessment information effectively to address gaps in pupils’ knowledge or inform future teaching steps.
- Leaders need to improve the information shared with parents and carers of pupils with SEND, particularly regarding targets in personalised plans.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
