Swindon Academy is celebrating today as the Department for Education publishes its new, validated progress scores. The results reveal that, with a score of 0.61, the school continues to be the best in Swindon for Progress 8.  

Progress 8 is a national measure which calculates the average progress students make by GCSE, compared with other similar schools. A progress score that meets the national average is set at 0 each year, with anything higher reflecting value added to a student’s achievements during their time at school.  

Compared to the national average of-0.03 and the local authority (Swindon) average of -0.05, the school’s score of 0.61 clearly demonstrates how effective Swindon Academy’s approach to student learning and character development is.

Karen Wright, Principal at Swindon Academy, said: 

“Our Progress 8 score confirms the brilliant progress students make at Swindon Academy, which is reflected in the strong GCSE outcomes they achieve each year. We are thrilled to be ranked top in Swindon again, and I am so proud of our fantastic staff, students and their families for their hard work and commitment to the school.”
