Mapped: Every Secondary School’s Progress 8 Score in England

🏫 How Much Progress Do Schools Really Make?

Progress 8 is a score that shows how much value a secondary school adds between Year 6 and GCSEs — not just raw grades, but real progress based on where students started.

It’s one of the best ways to compare schools fairly, even across different areas and intakes.

🟢 What the scores mean:

• Well above average (0.5+): Students make far more progress than expected
• Above average (0.1 to 0.49): Better progress than peers nationally
• Average (-0.1 to 0.1): About the same as similar students elsewhere
• Below average (-0.5 to -0.11): Less progress than expected
• Well below average (< -0.5): Significantly less progress

🎯 Why it matters:

Progress 8 highlights schools that help every child grow — even in tough circumstances. It reveals teaching quality, support systems, and leadership.

It’s not just about grades. It’s about potential.
