About New Cangle Community Primary School

New Cangle Community Primary School in West Suffolk holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 39 per cent. That figure is notably below the Suffolk local authority average of 58 per cent for primary schools, placing the school in the bottom half of its local area. In the West Suffolk district specifically, New Cangle ranks 42nd out of 44 primary schools on this measure, and 189th out of 253 schools across the wider Suffolk authority. The school’s individual subject results show a mixed picture: 65 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 61 per cent in writing, and 52 per cent in maths. At the higher standard, just 6 per cent achieved the top marks across all three subjects.
