3rd of 22 secondary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 24 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 335 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.7/10 among them, against 8.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Areas to improve

- Assessment at key stage 3 is "not always precise," meaning it does not consistently lead to necessary changes in teaching or re-visiting topics.
- While reading is celebrated, some pupils still avoid it and have not yet developed it as a habit for pleasure.
