Bishop Perowne CofE College
Worcester, WR3 8LE · Worcestershire · secondary school
24th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 — 3.4/10 against 706 of them, against 2.6/10 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 | 30.3 · 18 | 30% | 0.53 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.17 · 37 | 25% | 0.93 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.3 · 22 | 10% | 0.22 |
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. In 2024/25, 30.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Law, STEM, Choir, and Debating clubs, or participate in sports like Mountain Biking, Rugby, and Athletics. Trips include skiing in Europe and visits to New York City and Costa Rica. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1168 pupils in a capacity of 1200, leaving 32 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 32 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new intakes? Since the Progress 8 score is below 0, what specific support is offered to pupils who are falling behind in maths? How does the after-school club structure help students balance academic work with extracurricular commitments?
