11th of 45 secondary schools in Leeds 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 — 9.0/10 against 879 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 57.5 · 78 | 46% | 3.59 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.56 · 86 | 38% | 3.32 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 51.1 · 74 | 15% | 1.15 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
