Plymouth, PL6 5YB · Plymouth · secondary school
13th of 19 secondary schools in Plymouth we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 920 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.0/10 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 | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 37.9 · 35 | 30% | 1.04 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.3 · 31 | 10% | 0.31 |
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, 37.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils performed as well as those nationally starting from the same point. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 4.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Table Tennis, Diving, Rugby, Football, and Taekwondo, alongside Theatre Royal Plymouth performances and trips to Just Around the River Bend, ECC Take The West End, and Year 9 @ Launchpad Live.
Getting in. The school has 1031 pupils in a capacity of 1100, leaving 69 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 Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How do you help students engage with the available sports and arts opportunities?
