Haygrove School
Bridgwater, TA6 7HW · Somerset · secondary school
5th of 28 secondary schools in Somerset we can score, 35 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 6.9/10 against 928 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 48.2 · 61 | 30% | 1.83 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.21 · 65 | 25% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.8 · 66 | 10% | 0.65 |
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, 48.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.21 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 (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join STEM, Chess, and Music Tech clubs, or participate in Rugby, Netball, and Athletics. Arts activities include the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Battle of the Bands, and the GlastonGrove summer festival. Year camps provide trip opportunities. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1060 pupils in a capacity of 1070, leaving 10 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the after-school club operate for pupils with early morning commitments?
