Schools in Cromer
Cromer is a North Norfolk coastal town with 8 schools — 4 primaries and Cromer Academy as the secondary. Two schools have a faith character (Church of England and Quaker), each applying religious criteria in their oversubscription policies. The average fill rate across Cromer schools is 85%.
Cromer Academy serves the town and surrounding villages in its secondary catchment. Norfolk County Council coordinates admissions, publishing updated catchment maps and last-distance-offered data each spring. No school in the area is currently at capacity overall, though individual year groups can be competitive in years of higher birth rates.
