School overview

St Germans Academy is a primary school serving King's Lynn, Norfolk, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 111 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 45% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 1.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to 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 102 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). St Germans Academy is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 11 first choices for 10 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.9%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. St Germans 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
