Ranks above 92% of area schools (13 secondary schools in Wirral)

Note Overall effectiveness from the school's most recent inspection under Ofsted's previous (pre-report-card) framework.

✨ Hidden gem Pupils here make more progress than at most schools — it does better than its intake would predict. Based on DfE progress measures (Progress 8 / KS2), not an Ofsted grade.

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 above average
Attainment 868.2
Grade 5+ in English & Maths90%
EBacc average point score6.6
