2019 Performance Data

Key figures from the Government’s most recent ‘Compare School Performance’ website is shown below, which relate to the 2018-2019 academic year. No data are published for the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 academic years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our Progress 8 figure is significantly ahead of the excellent and leading figure achieved in the year before. This means that, on average and despite our intake at Year 7 being selective, our students achieve GCSE grades which are 80% of a grade ahead of those they might be expected to achieve. Our impressive, statistically significant figure is further evidence that our students’ fabulous success at GCSE really is, at least in part, due to factors within the control of this particular School, such as teaching quality, academic support and pastoral care.

Progress 8 is the Government’s measure of how much progress students at this School made between the end of Key Stage 2 (i.e. the end of their Primary education) and the end of Key Stage 4 (i.e. their GCSE results), compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of Key Stage 2. Calculation of the measure is based on results in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, Maths, 3 English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other additional approved qualifications.
