Thomas Telford University Technical College
Wolverhampton, WV10 0JR · Wolverhampton · secondary school
2nd of 20 secondary schools in Wolverhampton 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 — 9.7/10 against 164 of them, against 8.2/10 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 | 61.1 · 84 | 46% | 3.86 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.41 · 80 | 38% | 3.06 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.7 · 82 | 15% | 1.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
