Bottisham Village College
Cambridge, CB25 9DL · Cambridgeshire · secondary school
24th of 34 secondary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 35 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.4/10 against 932 of them, against 7.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 57.7 · 79 | 30% | 2.37 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.12 · 58 | 25% | 1.46 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.1 · 75 | 10% | 0.75 |
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, 57.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.12 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Requires improvement in September 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can access instrumental music tuition and participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Henry Morris Awards. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1465 pupils in a capacity of 1500, leaving 35 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores following the 2024 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to address the areas highlighted in the Requires improvement report? How does the after-school club operate for students who need care after the school day ends?
