About Flegg High Ormiston Academy

Flegg High Ormiston Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.56 sits well below the Norfolk local authority average of -0.02, placing it 48th out of 57 similar schools in the county. This is a significant gap that parents will want to weigh carefully. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 39.6 and its EBacc average point score of 3.52 reflect this trend, and just 33.3% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 15% for Progress 8, and within Great Yarmouth it sits 5th out of 6 schools. On the plus side, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 judged behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all as Good, which suggests that while academic outcomes need work, the day-to-day environment has clear strengths.
