St. Thomas More Language College
London, SW3 2QS · Kensington and Chelsea · secondary school
6th of 6 secondary schools in Kensington and Chelsea 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 — 7.7/10 against 468 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 46.7 · 58 | 45% | 2.59 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.9 · 51 | 15% | 0.76 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
