GCSE results

Percentiles rank the school against every school in England with a published score.

Progress 8+0.4782nd percentile+0.1563rd percentile+0.3877th percentile+0.3376th percentile
Attainment 855.184th percentile48.062nd percentile53.774th percentile52.376th percentile

Progress 8 for 2023–24 was +0.47 — above average, the 82nd percentile nationally. On average pupils left with grades about 0.47 of a grade per subject higher than pupils across England who had the same results at the end of primary school.

The 95% confidence interval for 2023–24 runs +0.02 to +0.92. That sits entirely above zero, so the above-average result is very unlikely to be chance. It has moved around a good deal across the years shown, from +0.15 to +0.47. The three-year average is the steadier number to judge it on.

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.

Progress 8 by where pupils started

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.

2023–2024 · lower is better. A pupil is persistently absent if they miss a tenth or more of sessions.
Overall absence5.5%93rd percentile
Persistently absent pupils14.4%90th 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 below the norm.

Ofsted

Standards maintained

The outcome of an ungraded inspection, which checks whether a school's previous grade still holds rather than issuing a new one.

What these figures don't tell you

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.
