Percentage of pupils who attained five GCSEs grade A* to C including English and mathematics

National level

In 2012, the school was in the bottom 20% of similar schools and in the bottom 20% of all schools.

Quintiles are used to split a dataset into five groups each representing 20% of the data. For the ‘all schools’ measure the quintiles are constructed using by ranking the results across all schools. For the ‘similar schools’ measure the quintiles are constructed by ranking the unique results within the grouping. The groups are not necessarily evenly split as there may be several identical scores in the dataset and these would be placed in the same quintile.<br /><br />The ‘all schools’ measure allows the user to view where, amongst all the maintained schools in England that offer the key stage of interest, the school of interest is ranked. The relative position of the school can be viewed as its quintile position, for example, schools in the ‘middle 20%’ are performing around average.<br /><br />The ‘similar schools’ measure shows the user where, amongst the results of the schools in the group, the result of the school is ranked. For a more detailed breakdown of these measures please see the guidance document.

Percentage of pupils who attained grade A* to C in English (EBacc)

<strong>Some data are not available for this section.</strong><br /><br />The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) was introduced as a performance measure in 2010 (data exist for 2011 onwards). It is not a qualification in itself. The measure recognises where pupils have attained a C grade or better across a core of academic subjects – English, mathematics, humanities (history or geography), the sciences and a language. The EBacc consists of GCSEs and accredited iGCSEs but not equivalent exams.<br /><br />English and mathematics attainment is calculated as a proportion of the cohort, while science attainment is based on examination entries.<br /><br />The national level includes the relevant schools for the key stage of interest. The types of school included in the national level are maintained state nursery, primary, middle and secondary schools (including academies), city technology colleges and special schools.
