Greenshaw High School
Sutton, SM1 3DY · Sutton · secondary school
7th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. 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 — 9.5/10 against 820 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 70.5 · 91 | 46% | 4.21 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.38 · 78 | 38% | 3.00 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 57.7 · 90 | 15% | 1.38 |
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, 70.5% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 57.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.38 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Awards and take part in an expedition to Zambia.
Getting in. There are 1961 pupils in a school with 1970 places, leaving 9 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 9 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new intakes? How does the expedition to Zambia fit into the broader curriculum for students who do not participate? What support structures exist for pupils who need extra help to maintain their progress scores?
