Shotley Community Primary School

About Shotley Community Primary School

Shotley Community Primary School sits in the bottom half of Suffolk primary schools when it comes to the headline KS2 measure, with 52% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is six percentage points below the Suffolk local authority average of 58%, and the school ranks 146th out of 253 primaries in the county. In the Babergh district specifically, it places 24th out of 34 schools, putting it in the bottom 30% locally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: writing is a relative strength, with 84% of pupils meeting expectations, and reading is close behind at 76%. Maths, however, lags at 72%. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is very low — zero in reading, writing and maths combined — and only 8% hit the higher bar in reading, 12% in maths and none in writing. For a school with a quarter of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results are perhaps unsurprising, but they do suggest that stretching the most able pupils is a challenge.
