Mixed Secondary
3.3/10 Below average

10th of 14 secondary schools in North Lincolnshire 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 — 4.0/10 against 781 of them, against 3.3/10 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

Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 37.3 · 33 46% 1.51
Progress 8 2023/24 -0.31 · 26 38% 1.02
Attainment 8 2024/25 45.3 · 47 15% 0.73

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, 37.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.3, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 in 2023/24 was -0.31, indicating pupils did worse than similar pupils nationally. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 504 pupils in a school with 720 places, leaving 216 spare places. 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 to raise their Progress 8 scores? What specific extracurricular opportunities are available to students? How do class sizes impact individual attention in lessons?
