Progress of Key Stage 4 students in 2025

Progress 8 was +0.6 for 2024

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.

Progress 8 (P8) score is a national measure which uses students' Key Stage 2 SATs results as its starting point. Since the SATs were cancelled in 2020, there is no P8 for the Year 11 students in 2025, as there is no starting point to measure progress from.

We are, however, still very proud of our most recent P8 - from 2024. The banding for Bordesley Green Girls’ School was ‘well above average’ because the score was greater than 0.5. Our Progress 8 of +0.6 was 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 was in the top 93 schools nationally for Progress 8 for disadvantaged students in 2024.

Breadth of Curriculum: EBacc

The English Baccalaureate, (EBacc), measures students' achievements across a broad and varied educational curriculum. A pupil is considered to have entered for the English Baccalaureate, (EBacc), if they took qualifications in English, Mathematics, a Science or Sciences, a Modern Foreign Language and either History or Geography.

89% of BGGS students were entered for EBacc. The average point score achieved in EBacc subjects was 4.46

At Bordesley Green Girls’ School, 89% of pupils entered the EBacc; this is significantly above both the Birmingham figure, (46.4%), and the national figure, (40.4%). This puts us in the top 10 of all Birmingham schools for EBAcc entry, above many of the grammar schools.

Not only do more of our students study the full range of EBacc subjects but they also achieve higher grades across the curriculum than at other schools. Our EBacc average point score is 4.46, which is up on last year, and puts us in the top 30 of all Birmingham schools for EBAcc point score. Our EBacc point score is higher than both the Birmingham score, (4.12), and the national score, (4.07).
