Ormiston Cliff Park Primary Academy
Great Yarmouth, NR31 6SZ · Norfolk · primary school
45th of 283 primary schools in Norfolk we can score, 344 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.6/10 against 2,542 of them, against 6.5/10 nationally. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.86 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Dance, Chess, Speed Stacking, Recorder, Lego, Crochet, and Eco Club. Sports cover multisports, basketball, athletics, gymnastics, football, and the Golden Mile Challenge. Arts include hair and face art. Trips visit the Hippodrome Circus, How Hill, Time and Tide Museum, Norwich Puppet Theatre, and Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 485 pupils in a capacity of 560 places, leaving 75 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading and writing? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
