St Gregory's Catholic School
Tunbridge Wells, TN4 9XL · Kent · secondary school
40th of 99 secondary schools in Kent we can score, 103 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 940 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 42.4 · 47 | 46% | 2.15 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.17 · 62 | 38% | 2.40 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.8 · 38 | 15% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 42.4% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Bedrock & Sparx, Bridge & Chess, Science, Anime & Manga, and Medsoc. Sports options cover squash, athletics, netball, dance, rounders, rugby, cricket, and tennis. Arts and music activities include LAMDA, Oracy, Sketchbook Surgery, Ukelele Jam, Starlight Singers, Grease rehearsals, Keyboard, and BSL clubs. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 1177 pupils in a capacity of 1082, meaning it is over capacity by 95. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school 95 places over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applicants? Since Progress 8 is positive but Attainment 8 is below the national median, what specific support is offered to raise
