Aldeburgh Primary School
About Aldeburgh Primary School
Aldeburgh Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Suffolk local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Aldeburgh, that figure is 53%, placing it 48th out of 72 schools in the East Suffolk area and in the bottom half nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 53 puts it in the bottom 50% tier, and it ranks 144th out of 253 primary schools across the whole of Suffolk. While these headline numbers suggest the school is not among the strongest performers in the county, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading is a relative strength, with 73% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 103, compared with 60% in maths and 67% in writing. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7%, though reading again leads with 20% at that level.
