The data includes progress scores, which measure how much students improved from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 and the percentage of students who achieved above a Grade 5 in English and Maths.
A Grade 5 is roughly equivalent to a high C or low B under the old grading system.
These progress scores help identify schools where students performed better than the national average.
Below, we’ve listed Lewisham’s secondary schools, their progress scores, and the percentage of students who achieved above a Grade 5 in English and Maths. Special schools are not included.
A school’s progress category or percentage doesn’t always reflect its overall quality, as factors like selectivity, student numbers, and intake ability can all have an impact.
For instance, a school with a larger student body may have more pupils who didn’t pass compared to a smaller school, but this doesn’t necessarily indicate poor performance.
Progress scores account for this by tracking individual student improvement, offering a clearer insight into how effectively a school supports its pupils in reaching their potential.
