Schools in Sudbury

On the River Stour in south west Suffolk, Sudbury is a market town shaped by the textile wealth of the Late Middle Ages. The 18th century brought artistic prominence through Thomas Gainsborough's paintings of the surrounding Stour Valley and the traditions of painters like John Constable. Today around 24,000 people live in the built-up area.

Great Cornard and Boxford form the school-competitive neighbourhoods that draw families seeking primary catchments in this part of east England. The town's Anglo-Saxon roots stretch back to the 8th century, with its market established in the early 11th century, while the Gainsborough Line now links Sudbury to Norwich in around eighty minutes.
