Stretford High School
Manchester, M32 0XA · Trafford · secondary school
13th of 18 secondary schools in Trafford we can score, 19 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 — 6.6/10 against 380 of them, against 4.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 36.8 · 31 | 30% | 0.94 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.07 · 55 | 25% | 1.38 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.4 · 42 | 10% | 0.42 |
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, 36.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.07 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 (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Table Tennis and K-pop clubs, or play Football and Badminton. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1000 pupils in a school with 1000 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage entry when demand exceeds the 1000 available places? What specific support is offered to pupils who fall below the national median in Attainment 8? How does the after-school club operate for students who need care after the school day ends?
