Check the area around this school
5th of 11 secondary schools in Westminster 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 — 9.5/10 against 582 of them, against 8.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 59.0 · 80 | 46% | 3.69 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.72 · 91 | 38% | 3.52 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 54.5 · 84 | 15% | 1.29 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
