Progress 8
ABOVE AVERAGE
Progress 8 is a measure of the development a school cohort/pupils makes from year 6 to year 11. The data used is from 2024. There will be no KS2 updates for 2025 or 2026 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The government is consulting on an improved version of Progress 8 and Attainment 8
What the school inspection says
“Pupils certainly live out the vision of ‘life in all its fullness’ at this exceptional school ... Leaders have raised ambitions further by making the school even more inclusive. This is helping to enact the school motto: 'Always our best because everyone matters’. This includes, for example, supporting more vulnerable pupils really well at the new separate provision known as the Launchpad and helping to seamlessly integrate 30 new pupils from Ukraine … The school buzzes with activity at lunchtimes as pupils enjoy social time together and participate in the vast array of clubs and societies. Many of these are organised by sixth-form students, who play a remarkably important role in the school.”
