About Cobholm Primary Academy

Cobholm Primary Academy is a primary school in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led. Around 187 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). 59% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 26.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 50% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
