Progress 8
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 are happy coming to school. They enjoy their learning, especially in mathematics and science … Parents and pupils who responded to inspectors all agreed that teachers challenge all pupils, whatever their circumstances, to do as well as they can. The school is highly successful in ensuring all pupils are successful in their outcomes … Pupils have a very extensive range of sporting, musical and other cultural opportunities. Those who recently visited Italy on a geography trip were enthusiastic about their experience. They have a very wide choice of GCSE subjects, including Mandarin.”
