Results & progress
Department for Education data, 2023/24. Progress measures are value-added (how much pupils progressed versus similar pupils nationally) — a fairer signal than raw results, which partly reflect a school’s intake. Progress 8 is not published for later years (those cohorts missed their KS2 baseline in the pandemic).
| Progress 8 | -0.9 — Well below average |
|---|---|
| Attainment 8 | 32.6 |
