Suffolks Primary School

About Suffolks Primary School

Suffolks Primary School sits in the London borough of Enfield, a local authority with 68 primary schools where just nine hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest taking place in 2023. In Enfield’s primary school rankings, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, Suffolks places 31st out of 59 schools, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. The top three performers in the borough are Hadley Wood Primary School, St Paul’s CofE Primary School and One Degree Academy, all of which score higher on the same metric. For families weighing up options in the area, Suffolks represents a solid, mid-ranking choice within a competitive local landscape, though it is not among the highest-achieving primaries nearby.

Academically, the school’s most recent Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24 show that 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, exactly matching the Enfield local authority average. This is a respectable outcome, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 6%, which is on the lower side. Looking at individual subjects, reading scores are the strongest: 77% of pupils reached the expected level and 29% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. In maths, 69% met the expected standard and 20% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 103. Writing results are more modest, with 67% at the expected level and 24% at the higher standard. The school does not publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Overall, the outcomes are in line with local norms, but the school is not pushing a high proportion of pupils into the top performance bands.

Suffolks is a relatively small primary, with 182 pupils against a capacity of 240, and it offers nursery provision for children from age two. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 22 applications for just two places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 11 to one. This suggests strong local demand despite its mid-ranking academic profile. Facilities include a music room, ICT suite, library, sensory room, gymnasium and a chapel, plus an outdoor playground and dining hall. Sports on offer include swimming, netball, cross country and cricket, while clubs cover drama, coding, gardening and art. The school’s SEND provisions are notably broad, covering moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and a resourced provision. This makes Suffolks a particularly strong fit for families whose children require additional support, especially given the range of specialist resources on site.
