The Bolsover School
Chesterfield, S44 6XA · Derbyshire · secondary school
32nd of 45 secondary schools in Derbyshire 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 — 6.2/10 against 555 of them, against 3.9/10 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

|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 15 | 35% | 0.51 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 42.7 · 47 | 30% | 1.42 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.32 · 26 | 25% | 0.64 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.0 · 46 | 10% | 0.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
