Tor Bridge High
Plymouth, PL6 8UN · Plymouth · secondary school
9th of 19 secondary schools in Plymouth 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 — 4.7/10 against 843 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 33% | 1.72 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 41.8 · 45 | 31% | 1.39 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.11 · 42 | 26% | 1.07 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.4 · 22 | 10% | 0.23 |
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, 41.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.11 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Young Enterprise, Community Commitment, and the Sixth Form café, or take part in Duke of Edinburgh.
Getting in. The school has 1122 pupils in a capacity of 1400, leaving 278 spare places. This means 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 in raising their Attainment 8 scores towards the national median? What specific support is available for students aiming for Duke of Edinburgh? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating following the 2022 inspection?
