Lyndon School
Solihull, B92 8EJ · Solihull · secondary school
5th of 15 secondary schools in Solihull we can score. 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 — 8.5/10 against 764 of them, against 7.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 48.3 · 61 | 30% | 1.87 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.47 · 83 | 25% | 2.09 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.7 · 70 | 10% | 0.71 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
