Check the area around this school
2nd of 15 secondary schools in Sutton we can score. 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 — 9.9/10 against 595 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 100.0 · 100 | 46% | 4.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.92 · 96 | 38% | 3.71 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 80.3 · 99 | 15% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
