York, YO26 6PA · York · secondary school
3rd of 9 secondary schools in York we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 740 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7/10 among them, against 8.0/10 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 | 85 | 35% | 2.98 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 64.6 · 87 | 30% | 2.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.27 · 70 | 25% | 1.76 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.0 · 83 | 10% | 0.83 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2026. In 2024/25, 64.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 54.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.27 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7 out of 10 among them, against 8.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Combined Cadet Force, Chess Club, or Feminist Club, play rugby or hockey, and take music lessons. Trips include a ski trip to Austria and a visit to Barcelona.
Getting in. There are 1141 pupils in a school with 1086 places, meaning it is over capacity by 55. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 55 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How do the trips to places like Malawi fit into the wider curriculum?
