Peterhouse CofE Primary Academy
Great Yarmouth, NR31 7BY · Norfolk · primary school
177th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 1,219 of them, against 1.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 437 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 17 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in literacy? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while addressing the significant gap between its results and the national median?
