Across the 19 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 -0.21 (interval -0.27 to -0.15). The interval sits entirely below zero, so this looks like a real shortfall rather than noise. Weighted by 2,472 pupils across 15 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).

Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 4 Outstanding, 7 Good, 2 Requires improvement; 8 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
