This year’s GCSE candidates have taken their first exams this week – with exams scheduled to run until Wednesday, June 25.
We have created a ranking of the best performing Birmingham secondaries based on the English and maths GCSE results.
Exam results in the core subjects of English and maths are one of the key measures of secondary school performance.
The data is also based on attainment 8 scores - The Attainment 8 score is the average measure of an individual student's progress across their 8 best performing subjects taken at GCSE level.
Let’s take a look:
17. St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School, Kings Norton
In the 2023/24 school year, it too had a Progress 8 score of 0.6- also ‘well above average’. | google
18. Selly Park Girls’ School, Selly Park
In the 2023/24 school year, it too had a Progress 8 score of 0.55- also ‘well above average’. | Google
