Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
2.8/10 Below average

11th of 13 secondary schools in Thurrock 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 686 of them, against 4.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
