About Cobholm Primary Academy

Cobholm Primary Academy is a school that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for just 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 77. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and 21 first-preference offers were made, meaning that every family who put it as their top choice secured a spot. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even though the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a state-funded primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision, and sits in Great Yarmouth within Norfolk. It has a non-religious character and is led by headteacher Danielle Sargeant. With 187 pupils on roll against a capacity of 262, there is some physical room to grow, but the oversubscription figures show that popularity is already outpacing available spaces.
