Cromwell Community College
Chatteris, PE16 6UU · Cambridgeshire · all-through school
27th 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 — 3.2/10 against 850 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 38.6 · 37 | 30% | 1.10 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.29 · 28 | 25% | 0.70 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.8 · 24 | 10% | 0.24 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 38.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.8, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 for 2023/24 was -0.29, indicating pupils did worse than nationally comparable peers. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and after-school club. Activities include Chatteris Tang Soo Do, Emotional Wellbeing and Resilience Club, Forest School, archery, self-defence, Lioness Fitness, mini golf, Peterborough United Football Skills, cheerleading, yoga, and pickleball. Trips visit Duxford, Warwick Castle, Paris, Disneyland, and World War One battlefields in Belgium and France.
Getting in. The school has 1524 pupils in a capacity of 1370, exceeding it by 154. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 154 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 score is below 0? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with
