Bobby Moore Academy
London, E20 2AE · Newham · all-through school
16th of 20 secondary schools in Newham we can score, 21 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 — 7.0/10 against 411 of them, against 4.7/10 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 | 50.4 · 66 | 30% | 1.97 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.37 · 23 | 25% | 0.57 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.6 · 49 | 10% | 0.49 |
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, 50.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.6, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did 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 (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in football, netball, rowing, track cycling, BMX, cross country, athletics, and hockey. The school organises trips to Paris for football and Barcelona for netball. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 1085 pupils in a capacity of 1560, leaving 475 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ progress given the negative Progress 8 score? What provision exists for students who need support outside of core lessons, given the absence of wraparound care? How do the specific sports programmes, such as rowing and track cycling, integrate with the wider curriculum?
