Ormesby Village Junior School
About Ormesby Village Junior School
Ormesby Village Junior School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, but the standout detail is that inspectors judged behaviour and attitudes to be Outstanding. That single top-grade rating tells you a lot about the day-to-day feel of the school. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 57 per cent. That is above the Norfolk local authority average of 52 per cent, placing the school 109th out of 344 primary schools in the county. In reading, 78 per cent of pupils hit the expected mark, with an average scaled score of 105, while maths and writing both saw 65 per cent reach the expected level. The school’s ranking within Great Yarmouth puts it 13th out of 27 primaries, and nationally it sits in the 64th percentile, so it is a solidly mid-table performer rather than an outlier.
