About Great Yarmouth Charter Academy

Around 895 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 38.6 — below the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 3.1 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

34% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 52% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 55% 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. Great Yarmouth Charter Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
