Academic outcomes

Progress 8 score

The DfE was not able to calculate Progress 8 scores for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26. This is because there was no KS2 assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption.

Attainment 8

Schools get a score based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications.

This score is based on up to 8 qualifications including English, maths, three English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved qualifications.

In 2025, our pupils achieved an Attainment 8 score of 56.4, well above the national average of 46.1.

Staying in education or entering employment

This shows the number of pupils who either stayed in education or went into employment after finishing key stage 4 (after year 11, usually aged 16).

96% of our pupils stayed in education or entered employment after finishing key stage 4, compared with 92% nationally.

Grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs

The percentage of pupils who achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs combined.

GCSEs are graded 1 (low) to 9 (high). Grade 5 is a similar level of achievement to a high grade C or low grade B in the old grading.

In 2025, 59.7% of our pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs compared with just 45.4% nationally.

Entering EBacc

A pupil is considered to have entered for the English Baccalaureate if they entered for qualifications in English, maths, sciences, a language and either history or geography.

In 2025 almost all our pupils, 88.6%, entered the English Baccalaureate.

EBacc average point score (APS)

The EBacc average points score calculates a pupil’s average point scores across the five pillars of the English Baccalaureate.

In 2025, our pupils’ EBacc average point score was 5.45 – well above the local and national average scores.
