GCSE: Progress 8:

Progress 8 (all pupils):

2022-23	2023-24
+2.23 (England: -0.03)	+2.09 (England: -0.03)

The 2022-23 figure placed us 3rd in England and meant pupils at Mercia made over 2 full grades more progress than the peers in an ‘average’ English secondary school. The 2023-24 data showed a similar picture. 

Progress 8 (disadvantaged pupils):

2022-23	2023-24
+2.18 (England non-disadvantaged: +0.17)	+2.12 (England non-disadvantaged +0.16)

Pleasingly, there was no gap between our disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged cohorts in either 2022-23 or 2023-24. Our disadvantaged progress data was the best in England in 2022-23. 

GCSE: Attainment 8 and EBACC

Attainment 8 scores: 

2022-23	2023-24
70.14 (England: 46.3)	69.39 (England: 45.9)

This means that the average grade achieved by Mercia pupils was Grade 7 in both 2022-23 and 2023-24.

2022-23	2023-24
