St Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls
Carshalton, SM5 3PS · Sutton · secondary school
9th of 15 secondary schools in Sutton 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 — 9.0/10 against 875 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 60.0 · 82 | 30% | 2.50 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.68 · 90 | 25% | 2.29 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 57.2 · 89 | 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 57.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.68 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than peers 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 (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022.
Getting in. The school has 1425 pupils in a capacity of 1549 places, leaving 124 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in raising their Attainment 8 scores further? What specific extracurricular opportunities are available to girls? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
