Grimsby, DN41 7QD · North East Lincolnshire · secondary school
2nd 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 the 709 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 61.7 · 84 | 30% | 2.53 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.03 · 48 | 25% | 1.20 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.0 · 74 | 10% | 0.75 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. In 2024/25, 61.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.03 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 778 pupils in a capacity of 1020, leaving 242 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 raise their Progress 8 scores above the national baseline? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Attainment 8? How do teachers manage class sizes given the significant number of spare places?
