The data shows how much students improved from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4, along with the percentage of students who got a Grade 5 or higher in their English and Maths GCSEs.
A Grade 5 is like a high-grade C or low-grade B in the old grading system.
The progress score shows which schools had students who made more progress than the national average.
We’ve compiled a list of secondary schools in Bexley, 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 remember that a school’s progress category doesn’t always show the overall quality of education.
Factors like selectivity, the size of the student population, and students’ starting ability can all affect these results.
For example, the top four schools are grammar schools, where students are selected based on academic ability, which can influence their progress scores.
These schools may have students who start with higher academic levels, which can lead to higher progress scores compared to non-selective schools.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the education they provide is better, but rather that the students’ starting points may differ.
