Compared with England

Persistent absence is 2024/25. Headline GCSE measures are 2024/25. Progress 8 is from 2023/24, the latest year published for this school. There is no Progress 8 for 2024/25 or 2025/26, because those pupils did not sit Key Stage 2 tests during the pandemic. England is the state-funded average from the same tables. Progress 8 of 0 is typical.
