What is the best primary school in Gorleston-on-Sea?
On exam results over the last three years, Stradbroke Primary Academy is the top-ranked primary school in Gorleston-on-Sea, in the top 16% of schools in England.
How are the schools ranked?
By published Department for Education exam results averaged over three years: for secondary schools, Attainment 8 plus a quarter of the share getting grade 5+ in English and maths; for primary schools, the share reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths plus half the share reaching the higher standard.
