About Woods Loke Primary School

Woods Loke Primary School sits in the Suffolk local authority, a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 2 to 11. In the East Suffolk district, it ranks 19th out of 72 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top tier locally. The school’s nearest outstanding-rated neighbour is Oulton Broad Primary School, 1. 7 km away, but Woods Loke holds its own against the area’s top performers — Stratford St Mary, Somerleyton, and Wenhaston primary schools — all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. With a capacity of 420 and 486 pupils on roll, it is oversubscribed, reflecting strong local demand. The school is non-religious and led by headteacher Joel Crawley, who took the helm in a period that has seen the school’s Ofsted rating rise to its current level.
