Plymstock School
Plymouth, PL9 9AZ · Plymouth · secondary school
5th of 19 secondary schools in Plymouth we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 876 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.2 · 65 | 30% | 1.96 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.3 · 59 | 10% | 0.59 |
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, 50.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils performed as well as those nationally starting from the same point. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1 out of 10 among them, against 5.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Homework Support, Singing Group, and Dungeons & Dragons, alongside sports such as Football, Netball, and Badminton. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1607 pupils in a school with 1680 places, leaving 73 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is offered for the Design & Technology NEA? How accessible is the after-school club for students with early morning commitments?
