Dixons Broadgreen Academy
Liverpool, L13 5UQ · Liverpool · secondary school
24th of 29 secondary schools in Liverpool we can score, 32 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 1.7/10 against 336 of them, against 0.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 21.0 · 5 | 46% | 0.21 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.57 · 13 | 38% | 0.49 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 34.4 · 5 | 15% | 0.08 |
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, 21.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 34.4, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 in 2023/24 was -0.57, meaning pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 1230 pupils in a capacity of 1409 places, leaving 179 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific measures are in place to improve progress scores for students from similar backgrounds? How does the academy utilise its remaining capacity to support individual student needs?
