 Progress of students in 2024 

Progress 8 is +0.6 

Progress 8 (P8) score is a national measure of the academic progress that pupils make from the end of key stage 2 to the end of key stage 4. This is based on 8 qualifications. 

The banding for Bordesley Green Girls’ School is ‘well above average’ because the score is greater than 0.5. Our Progress 8 of +0.6 is well above both the national figure for P8 in 2024 of -0.03 and the Birmingham P8 of +0.06. 

We are particularly proud of the fact that in 2024, our disadvantaged students achieved a Progress 8 of +0.52, which is very close to the overall progress 8, showing we do not have a disadvantage gap at our school. Bordesley Green Girls’ School is in the top 93 schools nationally for Progress 8 for disadvantaged students. There are only 93 schools in England with a sizable cohort of students eligible for free school meals where disadvantaged students achieved a P8 of +0.5 or better in 2024, Bordesley Green Girls’ School is in this list of the 93 top performing schools in England.
