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 | +0.3 — Above average |
|---|---|
| Attainment 8 | 47.3 |
| Grade 5+ in English & Maths | 49% |
| EBacc average point score | 4.3 |
