About Benhall St Mary's Church of England Primary School

Benhall St Mary's Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in East Suffolk, and its headline KS2 results sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Suffolk LA average of 58%. That gap of eight percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the area — it ranks 152nd out of 253 in the county. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, so it is hard to say whether pupils are making typical gains from their starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest that, on average, children here are not hitting the same benchmarks as their peers across Suffolk. The school is oversubscribed, however, with 25 applications for 10 places in 2025/26, which indicates strong local demand despite the middling headline numbers.
