England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Exam results
| Measure | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Attainment 8 score | 38.8 |
| Grade 5 or above in English & maths (strong pass) | 34% |
| Grade 4 or above in English & maths (standard pass) | 52.8% |
| Entering the English Baccalaureate | 24.5% |
Progress 8 is not published nationally for 2024/25 and 2025/26 while KS2 baselines are missing (no SATs in 2020/21). It returns from 2026/27.
“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.
Will my child get in?
Usually has places available — 0.62 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 115 | 71 | 125 | 90 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 81 | 74 | 116 | 78 |
| Sept 2024 entry | 114 | 77 | 112 | 80 |
First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
