Schools across Lancashire have been ranked on their student progress scores following a recent study.
The GCSE exam season has now returned to normality after the pandemic but after this disruption, there’s a lot of pressure on students to learn everything in the curriculum to attain their desired grades.
Due to these expectations, Non-Stop Kids and Online Marketing Surgery have created their School Attainment Report, which helps rank secondary schools in Lancashire based on their average progress 8 score.
This score is a way of measuring the progress that pupils make from the end of key stage 2 to the end of key stage 4.
So here are the top 10 schools in Lancashire with the highest progress 8 score and the top 10 with the lowest score:
1. Clitheroe Royal Grammar School (Best Schools)
Clitheroe | KS4 Students = 149 | Progress 8 Score = 0.37
2. Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School
Waterfoot | KS4 Students = 179 | Progress 8 Score = 0.44
3. St Michael's Church of England High School
