About Morland Church of England Primary School

Morland Church of England Primary School in Ipswich sits well below the Suffolk local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 34% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. This 24-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally and ranks it 198th out of 253 similar schools in Suffolk. The picture is mixed across individual subjects: reading scores are the strongest, with 61% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 103, while maths lags behind at 46% expected and a score of 100. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s ranking in Ipswich places it 24th out of 27 primaries in the borough. These figures suggest a school that faces significant challenges in driving academic attainment, particularly in maths and writing, where expected rates are notably lower than reading.
