About Kersey Church of England Primary School

Kersey Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Suffolk, and its headline metrics tell a story that parents will want to weigh carefully. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 58 per cent, but at Kersey that figure is just 33 per cent — a gap of 25 percentage points. That places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Babergh, ranked 31st out of 34, and in the bottom five per cent nationally. However, the picture is not uniformly low. In reading, 67 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and 44 per cent reached the higher standard, both well above the school’s own combined figure. The average reading score of 108 is strong, and the maths average of 103 is solid. So while the headline combined result is a concern, the reading outcomes suggest that some pupils are performing well, and the school’s small cohort of just 40 children means a few individuals can shift percentages dramatically.
