South Bromsgrove High
Bromsgrove, B60 3NL · Worcestershire · secondary school
12th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 753 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 4.8/10 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 | 45.6 · 55 | 30% | 1.64 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.15 · 38 | 25% | 0.96 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.1 · 52 | 10% | 0.52 |
