About Cedarwood Primary School

Cedarwood Primary School in East Suffolk holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this 5-11 mixed state primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, which sits four percentage points above the Suffolk local authority average of 58%. This places Cedarwood in the middle of the pack nationally, ranking 31st out of 72 schools in the East Suffolk area and within the 48th percentile for the East of England region. While the school does not crack the top tier locally, it comfortably outperforms the typical primary in its authority, suggesting solid, reliable teaching rather than exceptional results.
