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 are very proud of their school. They feel highly valued and know that their voices are heard. For example, pupils made a significant contribution to the choice of books that they now study in English … New pupils are warmly welcomed … This includes boys in the sixth form ... Every pupil learns Latin as well as at least one modern foreign language. Dance is a very popular subject .... [Pupils] described it as ‘the beating heart of the school’.”
