Across the 6 schools in the trust with comparable results, the average sits below the middle of schools with a similar intake. That is a fairer read on the trust than its raw results, which mostly reflect the areas it operates in.
Pupil-weighted Progress 8 is -0.01 (interval -0.16 to 0.13). That interval spans zero, so this is not a win: the group is not statistically distinguishable from average. A score such as +0.2 with a ±0.4 interval is noise, not a result. Weighted by 375 pupils across 3 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).
Ofsted across the trust
5 of the trust's 9 schools carry a historic one-word grade; 4 do not. Current report cards grade separate aspects and cannot be reduced to a replacement overall score. A trust that has taken on struggling schools may carry their old grades for years. What changed.
Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 4 Good, 1 Inadequate; 4 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
