Whilst it is not appropriate to make direct comparisons this year, we are extremely proud of the continued progress our students made and the progression this allows.

+0.26 (2019)
+0.30 (2022)

Our disadvantaged students massively outperformed other disadvantaged students locally and nationally, a figure of +0.30 representing continued progress for our disadvantaged students. We are particularly pleased that our disadvantaged students’ progress is notably stronger than the average Progress 8 score for non-disadvantaged students nationally (National non-disadvantaged 0.15). Our continued focus on all students as individuals and a whole school disadvatnaged plan has meant that our internal gap has narrowed.
