Across the 8 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 -0.21 (interval -0.33 to -0.09). The interval sits entirely below zero, so this looks like a real shortfall rather than noise. Weighted by 548 pupils across 3 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).

Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 5 Good, 1 Requires improvement; 2 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
