Which primary schools in Felixstowe have the best SATs results?
Of the 6 primary schools in Felixstowe with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Trimley St Martin Primary School (79% in reading, 72% in maths); Grange Community Primary School (65% in reading, 74% in maths); and Kingsfleet Primary School (59% in reading, 76% in maths).

Are there grammar schools in Felixstowe?

Do schools in Felixstowe have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Felixstowe have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Suffolk allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Felixstowe?
Apply to Suffolk through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
