Thomas Tallis School
London, SE3 9PX · Greenwich · secondary school
11th of 16 secondary schools in Greenwich 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 — 6.3/10 against 749 of them, against 4.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 43.4 · 49 | 30% | 1.47 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.12 · 41 | 25% | 1.03 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.6 · 49 | 10% | 0.49 |
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, 43.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.12 in 2023/24, indicating 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 (6.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award and participate in basketball, netball, gymnastics, athletics, football, rugby, table tennis, and badminton. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 2092 pupils in a capacity of 1950, meaning it is over capacity by 142. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity on a daily basis? What specific support is offered to pupils whose Progress 8 score is below 0? How accessible is the after-school club for families with varying work schedules?
