Mixed Secondary
5.4/10 Broadly average

4th of 18 secondary schools in Dudley we can score, 19 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 — 6.4/10 against 833 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 42.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.15 in 2023/24, indicating 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 (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 1760 pupils in a capacity of 1700, meaning it is over capacity by 60. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 60 pupils? What support is available for pupils who are not meeting the expected progress? How does the school ensure that the competitive nature of entry does not affect the day-to-day learning environment?
