Hoe Valley School
Woking, GU22 0NH · Surrey · secondary school
33rd of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 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 — 6.2/10 against 919 of them, against 5.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 42.9 · 48 | 46% | 2.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.21 · 65 | 38% | 2.51 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.9 · 57 | 15% | 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.
