Alongside a score to show how much progress students made between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4, the data reveals the percentage of students who achieved higher than a Grade 5 in their English and Maths GCSE.
Grade 5 is a similar level of achievement to a high-grade C or low-grade B in the old grading system.
The score itself highlights schools where students made more progress than the national average.
We’ve compiled a list of secondary schools in Bromley, their respective scores, and the percentage of students who achieved higher than a Grade 5 in their English and Maths GCSE.
Special schools have been excluded from this list.
It’s important to note that a school’s progress category doesn’t necessarily reflect the overall quality of education, as factors like selectivity, student population size, and intake ability can all play a role in these figures.
For example, while St Olave’s and St Saviour’s Grammar School ranked higher than all the others, the school itself is a selective secondary school where entry is based on academic performance.
This means its students are already among the highest achieving in the area before they even start, which can naturally lead to higher progress scores and GCSE results.
In contrast, non-selective schools may have a wider range of abilities among students, which can influence their progress scores differently.
