About Wenhaston Primary School

Wenhaston Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Suffolk local authority average, where 58% of pupils typically reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Wenhaston, that figure jumps to 89%, placing the school third out of 253 primary schools in the county and second within East Suffolk. Its ranking score of 89 puts it in the top five per cent nationally, and the school sits just behind Stratford St Mary and Somerleyton Primary Schools in the local rankings. The data also shows strong performance at the higher end: 22% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, while average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 107 in maths comfortably exceed the national benchmark of 100. For a small school with just 90 pupils on roll, these are striking figures, and they suggest a focused, academically effective environment that punches above its weight compared with the wider Suffolk picture.
