St Augustine's Catholic School - a Catholic voluntary academy
Scarborough, YO12 5LH · North Yorkshire · secondary school
17th of 41 secondary schools in North Yorkshire we can score. 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 — 6.8/10 against 916 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 51.3 · 67 | 30% | 2.02 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.22 · 66 | 25% | 1.66 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.9 · 66 | 10% | 0.66 |
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, 51.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.22 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils 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 (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in football, rugby, netball, and cross-country.
Getting in. The school has 583 pupils in a school with 580 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 competitive entry process for new students? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on progress? How does the school ensure all students have access to the named sports activities?
