Across the 13 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 0.13 (interval 0.04 to 0.22). The interval sits entirely above zero, so this looks like a real gain rather than noise. Weighted by 1,008 pupils across 6 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).
