Across the 18 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 -0.26 (interval -0.38 to -0.14). The interval sits entirely below zero, so this looks like a real shortfall rather than noise. Weighted by 507 pupils across 4 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).
