Oasis Academy Brightstowe
Bristol, BS11 0EB · Bristol, City of · secondary school
20th of 22 secondary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 24 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 — 1.9/10 against 302 of them, against 0.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 26.8 · 12 | 46% | 0.54 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.01 · 2 | 38% | 0.10 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.2 · 14 | 15% | 0.21 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What specific support is available for students aiming to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Awards? How do the academy sports programmes integrate with the regular curriculum timetable?
