Felix Primary School
About Felix Primary School
Felix Primary School’s headline metrics sit noticeably below the Suffolk local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 37% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 58%. That gap of 21 percentage points places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure, and 63rd out of 72 schools in East Suffolk. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 57% met the expected standard in maths (close to the national benchmark), but reading and writing lagged at 53% and 49% respectively. Only 6% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and 12% did so in reading and writing. The average scaled scores for reading and maths both sit at 101, which is just above the national floor but well short of the stronger results seen in the top-performing schools in the area.
