Bordesley Green Girls' School & Sixth Form
Birmingham, B9 4TR · Birmingham · secondary school
28th of 85 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 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 — 9.0/10 against 128 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.8 · 52 | 30% | 1.58 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.6 · 88 | 25% | 2.22 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.8 · 70 | 10% | 0.71 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
