As another academic year comes to an end, we take a look at all the Primary and Secondary schools across the county to have been inspected by Ofsted this year.
A total of 59 Primary and Secondary schools in Suffolk were inspected by the education watchdog between September 2023 and June 2024.
There have been some great results from schools including Felixstowe School which was rated as Good for the first time having been rated as requires improvement previously, Beck Row Primary School near Mildenhall rating Good, three years after receiving a requires improvement rating and St Matthew's Primary School in Ipswich rating as Good in what was the headteachers, Darren Gates', last year at the school after more than 20 years.
Three schools in Suffolk were rated Outstanding, with Elveden Primary Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Ipswich and All Saints' Church of England Primary School in Lawshall all being awarded the highest grade.
Nine schools were rated as requires improvement and will have follow up, monitoring visits, while just one school, Cavendish Church of England Primary School, was rated as Inadequate.
The school has said, however, that they have taken "early steps to rectify the issues outlined in the report."
The majority of schools inspected either retained or improved on their previous inspection result to be rated as good.
Schools that have been inspected throughout July 2024 won't have their report and result published until September 2024 when schools return for the next academic year.
