About St Germans Academy

St Germans Academy, a small primary school in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, sits below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. In the 2023/24 academic year, 44% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Norfolk average of 52%. That gap of eight percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the local authority, ranking 185th out of 344. Its national percentile of 86 means roughly 86% of primary schools in England achieved a higher combined score. The school’s Progress 8 data is not available, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds on top of pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest academic results are an area where families may want to look closely.
