Harrow, HA3 7AY · Harrow · secondary school
5th of 13 secondary schools in Harrow 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 — 8.8/10 against 883 of them, against 8.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 59.7 · 82 | 46% | 3.77 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.56 · 86 | 38% | 3.32 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 57.9 · 90 | 15% | 1.38 |
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, 59.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 57.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.56 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those 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 (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 775 pupils in a school with 780 places, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 5 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new intakes? How does the curriculum support pupils in maintaining the high Progress 8 scores seen in recent years? What support is available for pupils who find the competitive entry process stressful?
