11th of 11 secondary schools in Richmond upon Thames 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 — 5.2/10 against 659 of them, against 3.8/10 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 2025/26 | 42.9 · 44 | 46% | 2.05 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.32 · 26 | 38% | 0.99 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 46.0 · 50 | 15% | 0.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
