About The Albert Pye Community Primary School
The Albert Pye Community Primary School in Beccles was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has held consistently since at least 2010.

That figure sits well above the Suffolk local authority average of 58%, placing the school in the top 25% of primary schools nationally and 13th out of 72 schools in the East Suffolk district. The school also outperforms on individual subjects: 88% of pupils reached the expected level in reading, 84% in maths and 76% in writing. At the higher standard, 36% achieved above expectations in reading, though writing and maths higher scores were lower at 7% and 22% respectively.
