Sawtry Village Academy
Huntingdon, PE28 5TQ · Cambridgeshire · secondary school
16th of 34 secondary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 35 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 — 7.5/10 against 920 of them, against 7.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.8 · 60 | 30% | 1.81 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.56 · 86 | 25% | 2.16 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.4 · 68 | 10% | 0.68 |
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, 47.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.56 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than peers 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 (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Art club, and play rugby, hockey, football, or netball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 1085 pupils in a capacity of 1200, leaving 115 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How are the 115 spare places managed during the year?
