|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress 8 | -0.0546th percentile | -0.1439th percentile | -0.2827th percentile | -0.1637th percentile |
| Attainment 8 | 44.246th percentile | 43.943rd percentile | 45.941st percentile | 44.744th percentile |
Progress 8 for 2023–24 was -0.05 — average, the 46th percentile nationally. On average pupils left with grades about 0.05 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 2023–24 runs -0.28 to +0.18. That range includes zero, so on this year's figures the school cannot be told apart from an average one — treat small differences between schools with care. It has risen in each of the years shown (2021–22 to 2023–24), which is a more convincing signal than any single year.
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.

This is how sought-after a school is, not how good it is — demand tracks house prices and older siblings as much as anything a school does. It is also not your chance of getting in: a school with two applicants per place can still admit everyone living near it, while a less popular school a mile further away turns you down. Distance is usually what decides it, and that depends on your address.
| Overall absence | 11.1%18th percentile |

| Persistently absent pupils | 29.3%32nd percentile |
Absence is worth reading next to results: it is a plainer signal of whether pupils are turning up and engaged than any grade average. Across the schools in this dataset the overall absence rate averages 9.0%, so this school is above the norm.

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.
