DfE performance tables 2024/2025 · 167 pupils in Year 11

34% of pupils here are disadvantaged (England 28%). Disadvantaged pupils here scored 24.3 — below disadvantaged pupils across England (34.9).

17% got grade 5 or above in both English and maths (Medway 44%, England 45%).

Grade 5 — a “strong pass”; grade 4 is a “standard pass”. Progress 8 is not published for 2025: this cohort had no Key Stage 2 tests in 2020–21, so there is no baseline.
