About Coldfair Green Community Primary School

Coldfair Green Community Primary School is a state primary in the Suffolk local authority, serving 148 pupils aged 4 to 11 in East Suffolk. Among the 253 primary schools in the county, it ranks 207th, placing it in the bottom half locally. Its top-performing peers in the same area include Stratford St Mary Primary School, Somerleyton Primary School, and Wenhaston Primary School, all of which score considerably higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 39 applications for 23 places and all 23 first-preference families receiving an offer, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 7. Headteacher Louise Smith leads a mixed, non-denominational school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in June 2023. The school’s capacity is 140, so its current roll of 148 means it is operating slightly above capacity, which may reflect its local popularity despite the middling ranking.
