Peterhouse CofE Primary Academy
About Peterhouse CofE Primary Academy
Peterhouse CofE Primary Academy sits in a challenging spot within Great Yarmouth, and its headline Key Stage 2 results reflect that. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 40%, which is notably below the Norfolk local authority average of 52% for primary schools. That gap of 12 percentage points is significant and places the school in the bottom half of all primaries in the county — ranked 206th out of 344. Its ranking within Great Yarmouth itself is even starker: 25th out of 27 schools, putting it in the bottom 10% of its immediate area. So by the most straightforward measure of primary attainment, Peterhouse is performing well below what most local schools achieve. That said, the school’s intake is unusually disadvantaged — 49% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, nearly double the national average — which provides important context for those results.
