Scunthorpe, DN17 1HA · North Lincolnshire · secondary school
8th of 14 secondary schools in North Lincolnshire 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 — 5.8/10 against 411 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 43.6 · 49 | 30% | 1.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.54 · 14 | 25% | 0.35 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.1 · 35 | 10% | 0.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
