Freeman Community Primary School

School overview

Freeman Community Primary School is a primary school serving Stowmarket, Suffolk, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 201 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 54% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Freeman Community Primary School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 32 first choices for 29 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Freeman Community Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
