The Parker E-ACT Academy
Daventry, NN11 0QE · West Northamptonshire · secondary school
20th of 22 secondary schools in West Northamptonshire we can score, 23 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 the 887 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 2.6/10 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 | 33.8 · 25 | 46% | 1.16 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.27 · 30 | 38% | 1.14 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.9 · 16 | 15% | 0.25 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
