Bramcote College
Nottingham, NG9 3GA · Nottinghamshire · secondary school
13th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. 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 — 7.9/10 against 890 of them, against 6.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 59.2 · 81 | 30% | 2.43 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.3 · 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, 59.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did as well as 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 (7.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Code Club, Craft Club, Knitting, and Acting, play football, participate in the School Production, and work towards the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 804 pupils in a capacity of 600, exceeding its limit by 204. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 204 pupil surplus? What specific support is offered to ensure students maintain their progress from the starting point? How does the after-school club integrate with the academic curriculum?
