Saint Gregory's Catholic College

Bath, BA2 8PA · Bath and North East Somerset · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary Roman Catholic
5.8/10 Broadly average

7th of 14 secondary schools in Bath and North East Somerset 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 — 6.0/10 against 941 of them, against 6.1/10 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.

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, 43.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.42 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Inspiring Minds Book Club, Coding Club, Eco Team, 1719 Society, Bath Student Parliament, Young Enterprise, CAFOD Young Leader, and Debating Matters. Sports include athletics, basketball, cricket, cross-country, football, netball, rounders, and rugby. Arts and music provision covers instrumental and vocal lessons and High School Musical.

Getting in. The school has 987 pupils in a capacity of 1027, leaving 40 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support students who need extra help to reach the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 40 places?
