Schools have been ranked on their ‘Attainment 8’ score, which is based on how well pupils have performed in up to eight qualifications including English, maths, three English Baccalaureat qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three additional approved qualifications.
The percentage of pupils who achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs was also documented, as well as the number of 2023 school leavers who stayed in education.
Progress 8 scores could not be calculated because there is no Key Stage Two assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption.
