Grimsby, DN32 8JH · North East Lincolnshire · secondary school
5th of 10 secondary schools in North East Lincolnshire 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 — 4.9/10 against 289 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 34.0 · 26 | 30% | 0.77 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.36 · 23 | 25% | 0.58 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.8 · 24 | 10% | 0.24 |
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, 34.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.8, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.36 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access football, netball, rugby, badminton, athletics, rounders, swimming, triathlon, and dance, alongside regional and national trips. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 911 pupils in a capacity of 1100, leaving 189 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific support is offered for students who are not in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a large intake of 911 students?
