Check the area around this school
1st of 23 secondary schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we can score, 24 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 — 9.9/10 against 911 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.29 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 81.5 · 95 | 30% | 2.84 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.14 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 59.3 · 91 | 10% | 0.91 |
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, 78.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 60.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.14 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2025.
