About Carlton Colville Primary School
Carlton Colville Primary School is a mixed, state-funded primary in East Suffolk that currently has a school capacity of 420 pupils, covering ages 3 through 11 with nursery provision on site. While the data does not specify current pupil numbers or free school meal percentages, the school sits within a local authority where 14 out of 253 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing it in a relatively select group. The school’s religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’, making it a non-denominational option for local families. There is no specific admissions data in the record to indicate oversubscription, but the combination of a large capacity and an Outstanding rating suggests it is likely a popular choice among parents in the Carlton Colville area and the wider East Suffolk catchment. The nearest other Outstanding-rated primary is Oulton Broad Primary School, 4.5 kilometres away, so Carlton Colville serves as a key local option for families seeking a top-rated state school without a long commute.
