Across the 9 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 -0.68 (interval -0.89 to -0.48). The interval sits entirely below zero, so this looks like a real shortfall rather than noise. Weighted by 152 pupils across 2 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).

Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 1 Good, 2 Requires improvement; 7 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
