The Suthers School
Newark, NG24 3NH · Nottinghamshire · secondary school
25th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire 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 — 6.1/10 against 899 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 52.0 · 69 | 30% | 2.06 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.2 · 35 | 25% | 0.87 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.4 · 54 | 10% | 0.54 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2024. In 2024/25, 52.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.2 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Journalism, Reading, Learning a language, Gaming, Photography, Debating, and Student leadership clubs, alongside sporting activities. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 652 pupils in a school with 830 places, leaving 178 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific support is offered for the Progress 8 score? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual attention?
