Check the area around this school
4th of 13 secondary schools in Lewisham we can score, 14 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 — 6.8/10 against 883 of them, against 5.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 46.8 · 55 | 45% | 2.48 |
| Ofsted | 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 49.6 · 68 | 15% | 1.02 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
