Sexey's School
Bruton, BA10 0DF · Somerset · secondary school
3rd of 28 secondary schools in Somerset 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 508 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 7.3/10 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 | 52.8 · 70 | 30% | 2.11 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.33 · 74 | 25% | 1.86 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 51.5 · 76 | 10% | 0.76 |
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, 52.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 51.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.33 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2 out of 10 among them, against 7.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the S3 Homework Club, GCSE and A Level support, the Tennis Academy, and Acting and Speaking Tuition. The school organises theatre trips to London, Bristol and Yeovil, and provides an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 667 pupils in a school with 664 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with only 3 spare places? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How does the Tennis Academy integrate with the wider school community?
