Patchway Community School
Almondsbury, BS32 4AJ · South Gloucestershire · secondary school
16th of 16 secondary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 869 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 1.0/10 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 | 26.7 · 12 | 46% | 0.53 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.73 · 7 | 38% | 0.29 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 37.0 · 10 | 15% | 0.16 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 26.7% 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 -0.73 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4 out of 10 among them, against 1.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, We The Curious, and the Royal Victoria and Albert Museum, and complete residential trips for bushcraft, watersports in France, and battlefields.
Getting in. The school has 951 pupils in a capacity of 1080, leaving 129 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific strategies are used to improve Progress 8 scores? How do you manage the transition for new students joining a school that is fairly full?
