The table below outlines our results and progress for 2019-2023. 

Progress 8 is the measure used by the DfE to show the average progress a student makes from key stage 2 to their GCSEs across a range of subjects. A score of 0 indicates pupils are making expected progress across 8 subjects including English and Maths. To be included in this measure a pupil must have sat their SATs in KS2. Attainment 8 is an average of a pupil’s best 8 results including English and Maths. This measure includes all pupils as it does not rely on prior attainment.

Progress measures were not published in 2020 or 2021 due to Covid affecting exams. Progress figures in 2022 were affected due to DfE decision to exclude GCSE results that were taken early (our Year 11 cohort had sat English Literature in year 10).

Our results have shown steady improvement and we are on track to achieve our highest grades ever this year. Since a change in leadership in 2017:

• The proportion of students achieving grade 4+ in both English and Maths has increased from 24% to 47%,
• The percentage of students achieving a grade 4+ in English has increased by 20 percentage points, from 43% to 63%
• The progress of disadvantaged and students with SEND in our cohort last year were both above national averages for these groups of students.
