Rossett School
Harrogate, HG2 9JP · North Yorkshire · secondary school
23rd of 41 secondary schools in North Yorkshire we can score. 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 — 3.6/10 against 924 of them, against 4.1/10 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 | 37.3 · 33 | 46% | 1.51 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.03 · 52 | 38% | 2.02 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.1 · 40 | 15% | 0.62 |
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, 37.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. The Attainment 8 score was 44.1, compared with the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.03 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Student Council, a Sponsored Walk, and Music Tuition.
Getting in. There are 795 pupils in a school with 1418 places, leaving 623 spare places. 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 does the school support pupils’ progress given the Progress 8 score is only marginally above the national baseline? What specific support is available for students who need extra help in English and maths? How does the school utilise its significant spare capacity to maintain high teaching standards?
