Progress 8 for 2021–22 was -3.60 — well below average, the 0th percentile nationally. On average pupils left with grades about 3.60 of a grade per subject lower than pupils across England who had the same results at the end of primary school.
The 95% confidence interval for 2021–22 runs -3.84 to -3.37. That sits entirely below zero, so the below-average result is very unlikely to be chance.
Attainment 8 is the average grade pupils leave with across eight GCSEs; it tells you where they ended up, and tracks the intake a school admits as much as anything the school does. Progress 8 compares those grades with pupils nationally who had the same results at the end of primary school, so it is the better measure of what a school added.
A school can post a respectable overall score while coasting one group and carrying the average on another. The row that matters to you is the one your own child sits in.

Not inspected, or no grade in the published data
Around half of schools currently have no grade here — usually recently opened schools, or academies whose last full inspection was under a predecessor URN.
The GCSE results here are for 2023–24 and earlier, which describes pupils who have already left. Nothing on this page covers where pupils go next, A-level or sixth-form results, pastoral care, how far a school pushes music, sport or drama, or how it feels to walk around — and those are the things parents most often say settled it. Visit at an open evening before you rank a school.
Nor is any of it a prediction of a place. Whether your child is offered one depends on the school's admission criteria and, most often, on how far you live from the gate.
