About Wetheringsett Church of England Primary School

Wetheringsett Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Suffolk local authority, serving just 38 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Mid Suffolk area. It sits within a competitive local landscape of 253 primary schools in the county, where 14 schools hold an Outstanding rating. Among its top-performing peers in the same authority are Stratford St Mary Primary School, Somerleyton Primary School, and Wenhaston Primary School, all of which score highly on local ranking metrics. Wetheringsett itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a notable achievement given its previous inspection in 2017 rated the school as Requires Improvement. The most recent graded inspection in 2019 upgraded the overall effectiveness to Good, and an ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. The school is a Church of England foundation, and its headteacher is Imogen Wallis.
