Progress 8
WELL 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 and students … respect the high standards that the school sets for them. They share leaders’ ambitions for them to thrive academically and succeed as global citizens. Pupils believe in the school motto, ‘Transforming life chances’, and speak passionately about how important the school has been in shaping their future. As one sixth-form student said, ‘Being here has built my confidence and helped to develop my character.’ Pupils respect each other’s differences and celebrate the school’s diverse community ... Behaviour in class and around the school is very calm, courteous and respectful.”
