Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton
Southampton, SO16 3DQ · Southampton · secondary school
1st of 11 secondary schools in Southampton we can score, 12 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.7/10 against 925 of them, against 9.2/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 69.3 · 91 | 30% | 2.72 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.82 · 94 | 25% | 2.36 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 60.0 · 92 | 10% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
