About Stradbroke Primary Academy

Stradbroke Primary Academy in Great Yarmouth is a state primary for 207 pupils, running very close to its capacity of 210. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 33. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 85 applications for just 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 93. Of those, 28 were first-preference applications, and 27 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it first secured a spot. The school is mixed, non-religious, and has no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Adam Bell leads a school that has clearly built a reputation locally, given the level of competition for places.
