About Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy

Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 41 applications for just 18 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 28. Seventeen of those applications were first-preference offers, meaning nearly every family who put it top got a place, but the overall demand is more than double the available spots. This suggests a school that parents in Great Yarmouth trust and actively seek out, even though it is not the highest-ranked primary in the area. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for ages 4 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Craig Honey. It currently has 278 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 378, so there is room to grow. Over two in five pupils (42. 1%) are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and points to a community with higher-than-average deprivation.
