School counts by average Progress 8 scores for disadvantaged White British pupils

Published

Methodology

For state funded secondary schools with more than 20% disadvantaged White British pupils at the end of KS4, we calculate the school-level Progress 8 score for disadvantaged White British pupils.

We split secondary schools into the following bandings based on their Progress 8 score for disadvantaged White British pupils: greater than 0.5, greater than 0 but less than or equal to 0.5, greater than -0.5 but less than or equal to 0, less than or equal -0.5.

To align with the suppression policy of the Compare school and college performance (opens in a new tab) website, any schools with 5 pupils or fewer are excluded. 

This uses data for pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 in 2023/24 (Key stage 4 performance, Academic year 2023/24 - Explore education statistics - GOV.UK).
