5th of 19 secondary schools in Bromley we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 514 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.29 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 59.6 · 80 | 30% | 2.42 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.09 · 57 | 25% | 1.41 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 56.2 · 87 | 10% | 0.87 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
