About Sutton CofE VC Primary School

Sutton CofE VC Primary School was rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The inspection judged the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all as Good, with early years provision also rated Good. This upward trajectory is reflected in the school’s key stage 2 outcomes for the 2023/24 academic year, where 49% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the local authority average of 58%, placing the school 147th out of 210 primary schools in Cambridgeshire. In the more localised East Cambridgeshire ranking, Sutton ranks 22nd out of 27 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate area. The school’s national percentile of roughly 80 means it performs around the level of many other primary schools across England.
