About St. George's Primary School & St. George's Nursery School, Great Yarmouth
St. George's Primary School & St. George's Nursery School in Great Yarmouth holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in November 2023 that confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: just 44% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Norfolk local authority average of 52% and places the school 23rd out of 27 primary schools in the Great Yarmouth area. The data paints a picture of a school where core academic attainment is a significant challenge, though the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In writing, 67% of pupils reached the expected level, and 63% did so in reading, while maths lagged at 59%. The proportion reaching the higher standard in any of the three subjects was in the low single digits, at 4% for maths and 15% for both reading and writing.
