Droitwich Spa High School and Sixth Form Centre
Droitwich Spa, WR9 0AA · Worcestershire · secondary school
20th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 the 915 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 39.1 · 38 | 30% | 1.14 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.28 · 29 | 25% | 0.72 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.1 · 40 | 10% | 0.40 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. In 2024/25, 39.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.1, slightly below the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.28 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally starting from the same point. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 1300 pupils in a capacity of 1477, leaving 177 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific steps are being taken to improve Progress 8 scores? How does the sixth form centre integrate with the main school for older students?
