About Wortham Primary School

Wortham Primary School sits within the Suffolk local authority, a small village primary that punches well above its weight. Among the 253 state primary schools in the county, it ranks 26th, placing it comfortably in the top tier. Its nearest competitors for academic standing include Stratford St Mary Primary School, Somerleyton Primary School, and Wenhaston Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric, but Wortham holds its own with a score of 77. The school is one of only 14 primaries in Suffolk to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a distinction it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its latest graded inspection in October 2024, inspectors awarded Outstanding marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. With just 102 pupils on roll and a capacity of 105, it is a genuinely small school where every child is known.
