Stockport Academy
Stockport, SK3 0UP · Stockport · secondary school
3rd of 13 secondary schools in Stockport we can score, 14 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 501 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 47.0 · 58 | 46% | 2.69 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.24 · 68 | 38% | 2.62 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.0 · 57 | 15% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.24 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh award, play badminton, dodgeball, football, table tennis, or trampolining, and visit ChillfactorE, Jump Nation, Party in the Park, Crocky Trail, or Alton Towers Splash Landings. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1011 pupils in a capacity of 1020, leaving 9 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to maintain progress when the cohort is nearly at maximum capacity? What specific support is available for students aiming to raise their Attainment 8 scores? How does the after-school club integrate with the Duke of Edinburgh programme?
