Skinners' Academy
London, N4 1SY · Hackney · secondary school
14th of 16 secondary schools in Hackney we can score. 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 — 7.8/10 against 159 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 15 | 35% | 0.51 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 42.0 · 46 | 30% | 1.37 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.16 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.4 · 54 | 10% | 0.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
