### End of secondary school (KS4, GCSEs): 2025/26, provisional

| Measure | This school | Manchester | England |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Average Attainment 8 score | Does not apply to this school | 45.6 | 46.2 |
| Grade 5 or above in English and maths | Does not apply to this school | 44.9% | 46.3% |

The 2025/26 figures are provisional. The Department for Education publishes revised ones later in the school year.
Progress 8 cannot be worked out for 2025/26, because the KS2 tests that give the starting point were cancelled in 2020 and 2021.
Results reflect the pupils a school admits as well as its teaching, and a year's results can move a lot in a small school.
