Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
3.0/10 Below average

6th of 11 secondary schools in Southampton we can score, 12 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 — 3.6/10 against 385 of them, against 1.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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 2024-05). In 2024/25, 30.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Showcase Music School, sports committee, peer mentors, anti-bullying ambassadors, and restorative justice ambassadors. Sports include football, badminton, rugby, gymnastics, cricket, athletics, and rounders. Music options cover keyboard, piano, drums, guitar, bass guitar, trumpet, cornet, and tuba. An after-school club is available.

Getting in. There are 884 pupils in a school with 900 places, leaving 16 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 to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific support is offered to students who are not progressing as expected? How does the after-school club operate for pupils who need care after the school day ends?
