Peterborough Secondary School GCSE results: How did your school do?

The latest national provisional statistics for results and progress for 16-year-olds have been released today.

The statistics show the scores for Attainment 8 - which saw Peterborough score 41.9, compared to a national average of 44.3. The score saw Peterborough finish in the bottom 10 authorities in the country.

The results also include Progress 8, which saw Peterborough score -0.20, compared to a national average of -0.03.

Progress 8 shows how much progress pupils at this school made between the end of key stage 2, when children leave primary school and the end of key stage 4 when they are 16, compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2. This is based on results in up to eight qualifications, which include English, maths, three English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved qualifications.

A score above zero means pupils made more progress, on average, than pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2.

A score below zero means pupils made less progress, on average, than pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2.

A negative progress score does not mean pupils made no progress, or the school has failed, rather it means pupils in the school made less progress than other pupils across England with similar results at the end of key stage 2.

Attainment 8 shows how well pupils have performed in up to eight qualifications, which include English, maths, three English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved qualifications.
