Key Stage 4 Performance in 2020

Progress 8 (P8) tells us how well pupils at this school have progressed between the end of primary school (Key Stage 2) and the end of secondary school (Key Stage 4), compared to pupils in other schools who got similar results at the end of primary school. This is based on results in up to 8 qualifications, which include English Language, English Literature, mathematics, 3 qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other additional approved qualifications. Due to the lockdown in 2020 there was not an official Progress 8 data set so numbers are based on the 2019 Validated Data Set. This also applies to Attainment 8 data.
