Attainment 8

Attainment 8 is a school score based on how well students have performed in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, maths, 3 English baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other additional approved qualifications. 

Progress 8

Progress 8 shows how much progress pupils at this school made between the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4, compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of Key Stage 2. This is based on results in up to 98 qualifications, which include English, maths, 3 English baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other additional approved qualifications.  There are no Progress 8 scores in 2025 or 2026 as these students didn't take the national KS2 assessments due to COVID.
