Nottingham, NG7 2PL · Nottingham · secondary school
6th of 18 secondary schools in Nottingham we can score, 19 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 7.9/10 against 607 of them, against 5.8/10 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 | 52.5 · 69 | 30% | 2.08 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.16 · 38 | 25% | 0.95 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.1 · 75 | 10% | 0.75 |
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. In 2024/25, 52.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.16 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Vex Robotics team, Medical Society, or Brilliant Club Scholars Programme. Sports include football, netball, cricket, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Arts options cover guitar and ukulele groups. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 913 pupils in a capacity of 935, leaving 22 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils with a Progress 8 score below 0 to improve their outcomes? With only 22 places remaining, what is the current waiting list status for new intakes? How does the after-school club structure support students who do not have a breakfast club option?
