Woodbridge School Delighted to be Named Among Best in East Anglia
Woodbridge School is delighted to confirm our ranking in The Sunday Times Parent Power 2026 tables., contributing towards the biggest regional improvement being seen in East Anglia, as we moved up a stunning 43 places year-on-year rise in the national tables. Our students’ A* rate at A level confirms our position as the best performing school in Suffolk, as do our GCSE results, which, at 59.7% grades 9 to 7, also put us top of the tree in the region.
The survey provides a definitive resource for parents researching schools, by providing rankings based on their performance in A levels and GCSE; our students’ A* rate at A level confirms our position as the best performing school in Suffolk, as do our GCSE results, which, at 59.7% grades 9 to 7, also put us top of the tree in the region.
These results and this ranking is testament not only to the hard work and commitment of our students in their academic studies and examination performance, but to the support, dedication and encouragement provided by our teachers and parents. Academic results are tangible, and of course something we work towards, and this recognition reflects that success. However, we strive to provide students with an enriched and balanced education, through a range of co-curricular activities focusing on other aspects of life such as sport, leadership opportunities, clubs and societies as well as our Combined Cadet Force. Results are just one part of a student’s journey and personal development; we celebrate every aspect of their lives inside and outside of School, helping them on the pathway to becoming everything they are meant to be.
Shona Norman, Head of Woodbridge School, said:
As Head of Woodbridge School, I am of course incredibly proud of our students and their achievements, and of them being recognised in this way by The Sunday Times. But again, this is pride that I share with our entire community, since it is a team effort involving our students, teachers and parents, in achieving consistent excellence in all areas of School life, not just academic.
In terms of recognition for the School, the Parent Power survey is a useful tool for navigating the complex landscape of education in terms of making informed choices and selecting a suitable school for children. Woodbridge School is a key part of our town and region, and we are proud to be part of the reason East Anglia has seen the biggest regional improvement, with local schools leaping an average of 15 places. It feels wonderful to have contributed to this with a stunning 43 place year-on-year rise in these national tables.
