About Dale Hall Community Primary School

If you're a parent in Ipswich weighing up primary options, the experience of other families at Dale Hall Community Primary School is a strong signal. In its most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school received 137 applications for just 59 places, with 80 families listing it as their first preference. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.32, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. Of those first-preference applicants, 58 were offered a place, so the odds are tight but not impossible. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2019, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That's a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The early years provision was separately rated Good in the 2016 graded inspection, and a subsequent ungraded visit in 2019 confirmed the school remains Good.
