About Ormesby Village Infant School

Ormesby Village Infant School is a state primary in Norfolk, serving children aged 5 to 7 in the Great Yarmouth area. Among the 344 primary schools across the local authority, it sits outside the top tier of performers — the LA’s highest-ranked peers include Ditchingham Church of England Primary Academy and Surlingham Primary School, both with perfect ranking scores, and Stalham Academy close behind. Ormesby itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and its ungraded inspection in 2022, which confirmed the school remains Good. With 99 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, the school is significantly undersubscribed in terms of physical space, yet demand for places tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for just 27 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.52, and all 26 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a local reputation that outstrips its raw capacity.
