Burton End Primary Academy
About Burton End Primary Academy
Burton End Primary Academy’s headline KS2 results sit comfortably above the Suffolk local authority average for primary schools. The school reports that 65% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 58%. That seven-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places Burton End in the top half of primary schools in West Suffolk, where it ranks 14th out of 44. Nationally, the school sits in the 44th percentile, which is a solid mid-table position. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: this is a school where the majority of children are hitting the expected benchmarks, and doing so at a rate that outstrips the typical Suffolk primary. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a rating it has held across both its most recent graded inspection in 2020 and its ungraded inspection in 2025, where inspectors confirmed that standards were maintained.
