About Lynn Grove Academy

Lynn Grove Academy sits comfortably above the local authority average for secondary schools in Norfolk, with a Progress 8 score of 0.17 compared to the LA average of -0.02.

It's a solid, above-average result that places the school 18th out of 57 secondary schools in the county. Within Great Yarmouth specifically, it ranks 3rd out of 6 schools on the same metric.
