Chadwell Heath Academy
Romford, RM6 4RS · Redbridge · secondary school
8th of 19 secondary schools in Redbridge 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 — 8.5/10 against 929 of them, against 7.7/10 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 2024/25 | 55.0 · 74 | 46% | 3.43 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.37 · 77 | 38% | 2.96 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.7 · 82 | 15% | 1.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
