School Performance

Mercia School received its first set of GCSE results in August 2023. A thorough dataset outlining our results can be found on the government’s website here

You can compare all schools' and colleges' performance here.

Some 2023 headlines that we are especially proud of:

Progress 8: +2.23 (England average: -0.03)

This figure placed us 3rd in England and means pupils at Mercia make over 2 full grades more progress than the peers in an ‘average’ secondary school. 

Progress 8 (disadvantaged): +2.18 (England average non-disadvantaged: + 0.17)

Pleasingly, there was no gap between our disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged cohorts. 

Attainment 8 score: 69.9 (England average: 46.2)

This means that the average grade achieved by Mercia pupils was Grade 7.

EBACC Average Point Score: 6.95 (England average: 4.05)

This means, on average, pupils achieve Grade 7 in the EBACC suite of subjects. 100% of our pupils are entered for EBACC (English, Maths, Science, Geography/History, a Modern Foreign Language).

Grade 5 in English and Maths: 90% (England average: 45%)

Grade 4 in English and Maths: 97%  (England average: 65%)
