Results - Highlights

Heron Hall celebrated its fifth set of successful GCSE results this summer. Year on year improvement has remained very good with our students achieving an overall  estimated progress 8 score of +0.68 (for 2022).

The Progress 8 benchmark is an accountability measure introduced in 2016 and used by the government to measure the effectiveness of secondary schools in England.

It bands students into groups based on their scores in English and Mathematics during the Key Stage 2 SATs. In GCSE results, six EBacc subjects are chosen and each grade is converted to points on a scale published by the government for that cohort. English and Mathematics are worth double points and all points are added together. This is the Attainment 8 score.

Students in Maths and English made outstanding progress with +0.7progress in Maths and +1.1 progress in English.

Students also made above expected progress in subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Sociology, Citizenship, History, Art, Drama and several other subjects.

49% of students achieved a grade 5+ in Maths and English and 73% of students achieved a good pass in both English and Maths.

In summary

• Attainment 8 = 4.8

• English Grade 5+ = 77%, English Grade 4+ = 87%

• Maths at Grade 5+ = 49%, Maths Grade 4+ = 74%

• Two Sciences at Grade 5+ = 42%, Science Grade 4+ = 55%

• 5+ GCSE’s at Grade 5+ including English and Maths = 45%
