The latest government ratings reveal how secondary schools in Bexley performed, highlighting student progress across the area
Bexley: The Department for Education just released new info on how secondary schools in Bexley did in 2024. It’s all about the progress students made from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4.
This data shows which schools helped their students do better than the national average. We’ve put together a list of the secondary schools in Bexley along with their scores.
Now, they didn’t include special schools in this ranking, so keep that in mind.
Here’s the scoop on the schools that scored well above average: Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School led the pack with a score of 0.82, followed by St Catherine’s Catholic School at 0.75, and Townley Grammar School at 0.66.
Then we have Harris Garrard Academy at 0.54 and Beths Grammar School at 0.53. Pretty impressive, right?
For those above average, Bexley Grammar School scored 0.49. Not too shabby!
Now, if we look at the average scores, St Columba’s Catholic Boys’ School came in at 0.04, while Harris Academy Falconwood was just below at -0.02.
Hurstmere School, Blackfen School for Girls, and a few others fell into the average range, with scores slightly below zero.
On the lower end, Bexleyheath Academy scored -0.45, and some schools like Trinity Church of England School and Welling School had scores well below average.
But remember, a negative score doesn’t mean students didn’t progress at all. It just means they didn’t do as well compared to their peers across England who had similar starting points.
A positive score indicates that students made more progress, while a negative score shows less progress. It’s all about how they stack up against others in the country.
