Across the 13 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 0.14 (interval 0.05 to 0.22). The interval sits entirely above zero, so this looks like a real gain rather than noise. Weighted by 1,197 pupils across 5 schools with a published Progress 8 score (minimum 2).
Ofsted across the trust

Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 4 Outstanding, 6 Good; 4 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
