The Grey Coat Hospital
London, SW1P 2DY · Westminster · secondary school
1st of 11 secondary schools in Westminster 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 — 9.9/10 against 881 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 78.9 · 94 | 30% | 2.83 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.04 · 98 | 25% | 2.45 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 66.6 · 96 | 10% | 0.96 |
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, 78.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 66.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.04 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils 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 (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Reading, Drama, Science, and Eco Clubs. Sports include Football, Swimming, Cricket, Athletics, Dance, and Fencing. Arts and music cover Singing, Guitar, Piano, African drumming, and Drama performances. Trips include Ski trips, Duke of Edinburgh, and Foreign exchanges. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 1132 pupils in a capacity of 1082, meaning it is over capacity by 50. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 50-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is offered to pupils who need to catch up in English or maths? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support pupils' wellbeing?
