Ormiston Horizon Academy
Stoke on Trent, ST6 6JZ · Stoke-on-Trent · secondary school
10th of 14 secondary schools in Stoke-on-Trent we can score, 15 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.2/10 against 569 of them, against 0.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 29.3 · 16 | 30% | 0.47 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.12 · 2 | 25% | 0.04 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 37.3 · 11 | 10% | 0.11 |
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 in 2024-01. In 2024/25, 29.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.12 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Homework Club, Dungeons and Dragons, Forest Schools, Martial Arts, and Dance and Drama. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1029 pupils in a school with 1050 places, leaving 21 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 Attainment 8 and the national median? What specific strategies are used to improve Progress 8 scores? How accessible is the after-school club for families with varying schedules?
