Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
7.6/10 Above average

1st of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 the 810 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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.
