About St Edmundsbury CofE Primary Academy

St Edmundsbury CofE Primary Academy is a Church of England state primary in the Suffolk local authority, serving 174 pupils from ages 5 to 11 in the West Suffolk area. Among Suffolk’s 253 primary schools, it sits some way behind the top-performing peers in its local authority, such as Stratford St Mary Primary School, Somerleyton Primary School, and Wenhaston Primary School, all of which rank notably higher. The school is significantly undersubscribed relative to its capacity of 315, with only 174 pupils on roll, though for the 2025/26 intake it was oversubscribed: 43 applications were received for 25 places, and all 25 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a local reputation that draws families, even if the school’s overall standing in the LA is not among the elite. With 27 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average economic need, and its religious character as a Church of England school adds a distinctive ethos within the local primary landscape.
