John Kyrle High School and Sixth Form Centre Academy
Ross-on-Wye, HR9 7ET · Herefordshire, County of · secondary school
4th of 15 secondary schools in Herefordshire, County of we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 915 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 | 48.4 · 62 | 46% | 2.85 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.2 · 35 | 38% | 1.34 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.7 · 60 | 15% | 0.93 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
