About Wickham Market Primary School

Wickham Market Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Suffolk local authority average, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 58%. That gap of 28 percentage points is significant and places the school in the top 5% nationally for this measure. The school also performs strongly on higher standards: 24% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading and maths, and 19% in writing. Average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 106 in maths are solid, though the data does not include progress scores, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. In the East Suffolk local authority, Wickham Market ranks 4th out of 72 primary schools, and 8th out of 253 across the wider Suffolk area. This is a school that consistently delivers above-average academic outcomes for its pupils.
