Bishop Milner Catholic College
Dudley, DY1 3BY · Dudley · secondary school
10th of 18 secondary schools in Dudley we can score, 19 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.3/10 against 833 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. 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 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.5 · 39 | 30% | 1.17 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.02 · 49 | 25% | 1.22 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.9 · 51 | 10% | 0.51 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023. In 2024/25, 39.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.02 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 837 pupils in a building with 800 places, exceeding capacity by 37. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 37 pupils over capacity in daily lessons? What support is available for pupils who are behind in English and maths? How does the school ensure all students have access to extracurricular opportunities?
