Scarborough University Technical College
Scarborough, YO11 2JW · North Yorkshire · secondary school
21st of 41 secondary schools in North Yorkshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 932 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.8 · 52 | 30% | 1.57 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.17 · 37 | 25% | 0.93 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.0 · 40 | 10% | 0.40 |
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, 44.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.0, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Green Power, F1 in Schools, Bits and Bytes, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Eureka, STEM Primary Schools, and Combined Cadet Force (CCF), and compete in Delta Games.
Getting in. The school has 253 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 347 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 does the school support pupils in raising their Progress 8 scores above the national baseline? What specific support is available for students aiming to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award? How do teachers manage class sizes given the current low enrolment?
