Check the area around this school
41st of 53 secondary schools in Norfolk we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.0/10 against 886 of them, against 3.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 43.4 · 46 | 46% | 2.11 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.56 · 13 | 38% | 0.51 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 45.7 · 48 | 15% | 0.74 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Flegg High Ormiston Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 40.0% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.56 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place.

What Ofsted said about Flegg High Ormiston Academy
Overview
Flegg High Ormiston Academy requires improvement in the quality of education, but has made good progress in behaviour and attitudes, and personal development. The school has a good leadership and management team in place.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe at school and are generally happy.
- Behaviour has improved significantly since the previous inspection, with pupils now behaving well and being polite.
- Personal development is promoted well, including through a comprehensive programme of PSHE education and a wide range of enrichment opportunities.
- The school has a good leadership and management team in place, with leaders' actions helping to stabilise and improve the school.
Areas to improve
- Sometimes teachers do not use assessment well enough to identify misconceptions or address work that is not of a high enough standard.
- Sometimes the pedagogical choices teachers make do not promote opportunities for pupils to discuss the subject matter being taught.
- Staff do not always cater precisely enough for the needs of pupils with SEND, which means that they do not always achieve as well as they might.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
