The top secondary school in Slough for pupil progression has been revealed.
Non-Stop Kids and Online Marketing Surgery have compiled a School Attainment Report.
It ranks secondary schools in Slough based on their average progress 8 score, a figure used to measure student improvement from the end of key stage 2 to the end of key stage 4.
The School Attainment Report relied on the latest statistics from GOV.UK and includes student count at each key stage's end and their respective progress 8 score.
Eden Girls' School came out on tops with a progress 8 score of 1.17 which is significantly above an average score of 0.
They had 119 students at the end of key stage 4.
Other schools that performed well include Langley Grammar School with a progress 8 score of 0.83, St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School with 0.8 and Herschel Grammar School getting 0.74.
They had 177, 124 and 152 students respectively at the end of key stage 4.
On the list of lower-performing schools, Beechwood School had a worrying -0.9 score, Wexham School scored -0.51 and Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy managed -0.8 progress 8 score.
These schools had 141, 134 and 167 students respectively finishing key stage 4.
The report aims to provide valuable insights into school performance across Slough.
Its focus on progress 8 scores offers a measure of a school's ability to foster improvement in their pupils over time, thus providing a benchmark to assess the quality of education.
It's important to understand that these scores don't necessarily reflect the current standard of education but instead reveal how effective schools are at improving their students' academic performance from key stage 2 to key stage 4.
The report does not include figures for special education schools.
The School Attainment Report provides a useful tool to evaluate and compare school performance.
Whether top-performer or struggling, each school now has clear and measurable data to inspire improvements in teaching and learning strategies.
