St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School, Woking
Woking, GU22 9AL · Surrey · secondary school
9th 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 4.6/10 among them, against 9.0/10 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 | 65.8 · 88 | 46% | 4.06 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.73 · 92 | 38% | 3.53 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 58.1 · 90 | 15% | 1.39 |
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, 65.8% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 58.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.73 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 9.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, take international trips, and attend reflection days.
Getting in. The school has 1541 pupils in a school with 1470 places, meaning it is over capacity by 71. 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 with 71 extra pupils? What specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap between their progress and the national average? How do the international trips and Duke of Edinburgh Award fit into the weekly timetable for most students?
