Woolpit Primary Academy

About Woolpit Primary Academy

Woolpit Primary Academy’s headline metrics sit noticeably below the Suffolk local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 33% of Woolpit’s Year 6 pupils achieved that combined benchmark, placing the school 199th out of 253 primaries in the county. That gap of 25 percentage points is significant and positions Woolpit firmly in the bottom half of Suffolk schools, with a national percentile ranking of 95 — meaning only 5% of schools nationally scored lower on this measure. The school’s ranking within Mid Suffolk is 36th out of 39 primaries, which underscores the challenge. However, the picture isn’t uniformly low: 52% of pupils met the expected standard in reading individually, and the average reading score of 101 is close to the national average of 100, suggesting reading is a relative strength compared with maths and writing.
