Ormiston Herman Academy, a state primary in Great Yarmouth, stands out clearly against the Norfolk local authority average for Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of just 52%. That is a fifteen-point gap, placing the school well ahead of the typical Norfolk primary.
