St Bede's School
Redhill, RH1 2LQ · Surrey · secondary school
7th of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 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 291 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 9.1/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 68.4 · 90 | 30% | 2.70 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.72 · 91 | 25% | 2.29 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 57.9 · 90 | 10% | 0.90 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 9.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Washington, Krakow, and go skiing in Year 9.
Getting in. The school has 1918 pupils in a capacity of 1890, meaning it is over capacity by 28. 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? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on progress? How are the competitive entry processes handled for new students?
