Exceptional progress scores have placed four ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ schools among the highest-performing secondaries in the country. Provisional data shows that ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ Greenwich Free School is in the top 15 schools nationally with a score of +1.4. This means that students made nearly grade and a half more progress on average than their peers nationally. King Solomon Academy (+1.18) also placed in the top one percent of schools, with ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ Bolingbroke (+1.05) in the top two percent, and ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ Isaac Newton (+0.91) in the top five percent.

Overall, ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ’s network of 20 secondaries in Birmingham, Hastings, London and Portsmouth scored an average of +0.18. As a network that serves a very high proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, we’re particularly focused on closing the attainment gap. This year, ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ students eligible for pupil premium made over half a grade more progress than disadvantaged students nationally (-0.03 vs -0.57).

Director of Secondary Education Jerry Collins said, “This year’s results reflect our students and staff’s hard work, resilience, and determination. At ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ, we believe every child has the potential to excel, and these achievements showcase what can be accomplished through dedication and belief in our mission.”

Tehrim Valibhai, Head of School at ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ Greenwich, said: “Our student’s achievements are nothing short of exceptional—especially for a non-selective school in a disadvantaged part of London. These outcomes are a testament to the dedication of our scholars, the commitment of our staff, and the trust our parents have placed in us.”

Beth Humphreys, Principal at ºÚÁÏÇ鱨վ King Solomon, said: “We are delighted that KSA pupils continue to make exceptional progress in our all-through school. We are so proud of how hard they work to secure their many achievements and are grateful to their parents and the wider community for all their support.”
