GCSE Results
In 2018 there were new examinations in most GCSE subjects which means it is not possible to compare 2018 results with 2017. Please see the SSAT guide to the new examinations for further information.
| Year 11 Results | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Progress 8 | 0.53 | 0.22 | 0.25 |
| English and Maths 4+ (% of year group) | 75% | 77% | 80% |
| English and Maths 5+ (% of year group) | 56% | 58% | 62% |
| Attainment 8 | 54.3 | 50.74 | 53.45 |
| EBACC Entered (% of year group) | 28% | 28% | 22% |
| EBACC Achieved at grade 5 and above | 20% | 11% | 12% |
We do not expect our students to sit the EBACC suite of subjects. This is a decision made by the governing board and leadership team of the school.
A2 Results
It is worth noting that the A2 results have increased every year for the past four years and the progress score shows the Academy to be ‘well above national average’. An ALPS provider score of ‘2’ puts the Academy in the top 10% of post 16 providers nationally.
