4th of 88 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 10.0/10 against 808 of them, against 9.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 94 | 33% | 3.08 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 97.3 · 98 | 31% | 3.03 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.96 · 97 | 26% | 2.51 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 78.8 · 99 | 10% | 1.02 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
