Claydon Primary School
About Claydon Primary School
Claydon Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit five percentage points above the Suffolk local authority average of 58 per cent for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, with 63 per cent of its pupils hitting that benchmark. That places it 91st out of 253 primary schools in the county, comfortably in the top half. The school’s national ranking at the 50th percentile confirms it is a solidly average performer on a national scale, but within its immediate local authority it is clearly above the typical Suffolk school. Where Claydon really distinguishes itself is in reading: 80 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard and 35 per cent achieved the higher standard, both figures well ahead of the national picture. Maths is similarly strong, with an average scaled score of 105 and 78 per cent at the expected level. Writing lags a little behind at 72 per cent expected, but the overall picture is of a school that consistently outperforms its local authority average without being among the very highest performers in the county.
