Trumpington Community College
Cambridge, CB2 9FD · Cambridgeshire · secondary school
12th of 34 secondary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 35 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 9.3/10 against 614 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 55.1 · 74 | 30% | 2.23 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.61 · 88 | 25% | 2.21 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.4 · 72 | 10% | 0.72 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. In 2024/25, 55.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.61 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
Getting in. The school has 35.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, against a national average of about 25%. What that means is the student body has a higher proportion of disadvantaged learners than the national norm, which influences the context for its results.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in raising their Attainment 8 scores further? What specific opportunities exist for students to engage with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award? How does the school manage the transition for Year 11 students given the recent inspection date?
