About Rougham Church of England Primary School

Rougham Church of England Primary School has been rated Good overall by Ofsted following its May 2024 inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022.

On the key academic metric for primary schools, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year.
