Check the area around this school
10th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.7/10 against 885 of them, against 7.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 52.4 · 68 | 31% | 2.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.37 · 77 | 26% | 1.97 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 51.5 · 76 | 10% | 0.78 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
