Across the 20 schools in the trust with comparable results, the average sits about level with 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 -0.57 (interval -0.72 to -0.41). The interval sits entirely below zero, so this looks like a real shortfall rather than noise. Weighted by 335 pupils across 3 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).
