Fleggburgh CofE Primary School

About Fleggburgh CofE Primary School

Fleggburgh CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results stand well above the Norfolk local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 52%, Fleggburgh achieves 86% — a gap of 34 percentage points. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 29% of pupils reaching that level in all three subjects, and a remarkable 71% hitting the higher threshold in reading alone. Average scaled scores back this up: 107 in maths and 111 in reading. These figures place Fleggburgh first among 27 primary schools in Great Yarmouth, and in the top 5% nationally. It’s a small school — just 53 pupils against a capacity of 56 — but its academic outcomes punch well above what you’d typically expect for the area.

Ofsted visited in March 2023 for an ungraded inspection and confirmed the school remains Good, the same overall effectiveness rating it received in its previous graded inspection in 2012. The leadership and management were also judged Good. That’s a notable improvement from the school’s 2009 inspection, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall. In the most recent Key Stage 2 data, every pupil met the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 86% did so in maths. Progress scores aren’t published for this school, so it’s harder to see how much value the school adds from starting points, but the attainment outcomes are clear. With 18.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals — slightly above the national average — the school is delivering strong results across its intake.

The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 21 applications for just 8 places, and all first-preference families were offered a spot. That ratio of 2.63 applicants per place suggests strong local demand. Facilities include an outdoor playground, art studios, music rooms, a dining hall and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. Sports on offer include rounders, gymnastics, netball, cross country, football, dance and tennis, while clubs range from gardening and drama to film club and choir. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, and multi-sensory impairment. For families in the Great Yarmouth area who prioritise strong academic outcomes in a small, faith-based setting, this school is clearly a popular choice.
