Hayes School
Bromley, BR2 7DB · Bromley · secondary school
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 550 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 7.4/10 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

| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.09 · 57 | 25% | 1.41 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.8 · 85 | 10% | 0.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
