About Northfield St Nicholas Primary Academy

Northfield St Nicholas Primary Academy’s headline KS2 results sit almost exactly in line with the Suffolk local authority average, with 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — matching the LA average of 58%. That places the school 124th out of 253 primary schools in the county, squarely in the middle of the pack. But dig a little deeper and the picture is more nuanced. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%, well below what you might hope for, and only 10% hit the higher mark in reading, 14% in maths and 4% in writing. These are modest figures, and they reflect a school serving a community where 49.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — more than double the national average. The school’s ranking in East Suffolk places it 40th out of 72 primaries, putting it in the bottom half locally, though its national percentile of 61 suggests it’s performing broadly in line with similar schools across the country.
