Ridgeway Secondary School
Redditch, B96 6BD · Worcestershire · secondary school
3rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.1/10 against 888 of them, against 7.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 54.8 · 74 | 46% | 3.41 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.43 · 81 | 38% | 3.10 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.0 · 57 | 15% | 0.88 |
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. In 2024/25, 54.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.43 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess, Reading, and STEM clubs, attend Summer PE clubs, and participate in theatre performances. Trips include ski trips, residentials for outdoor activities, foreign exchange visits, sports tours, and museum visits.
Getting in. The school has 338 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 262 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do the smaller class sizes affect individual teacher attention during lessons? What support is available for pupils who need extra help with their Progress 8 targets? How does the school organise the various trips and clubs to ensure all pupils can participate?
