The 4 secondary schools in Newham performing 'well above' national average

Four secondary schools in Newham are performing well above the national average, according to the latest figures from the Department for Education (DfE). The report published earlier this month (October 19) has revealed how 22 schools in the borough are performing when compared to their Progress 8 score, which tracks students' progress from when they leave primary school to when they achieve their GCSE results.

The system was introduced in 2016 and replaces how secondary schools were previously ranked which was according to the percentage of children who achieved five A* to C grades because it was deemed "unfair". Parents can still judge a school's performance using the old system but Progress 8 scores can provide a more "rounded picture" of the range of subjects being studied and has been dubbed more reliable.

Progress 8 scores show how a child has progressed from the end of Year 6 to Year 11, when compared to students across England who got similar results at the end of Year 6. A score between 0 to 0.5 means the school performed above the national average, while scores above 0.5 means a school performed "well above" the national average.

A school with a score below 0 means students made less progress when compared to the national average, though negative scores don't mean students have made no progress, it just means they have progressed less than the national average. In Newham, the highest-performing secondary school based on Progress 8 scores for the academic year 2022/23 was Forest Gate Community School with a score of 1.06.

Brampton Manor Academy in East Ham was the second highest-performing secondary school with a Progress 8 score of 0.75. Here are the four best-performing schools in Newham based on their Progress 8 scores:

  1. Forest Gate Community School: 1.06
  2. Brampton Manor Academy: 0.75
  3. Plashet School: 0.67
  4. Sarah Bonnell School: 0.53

The government does not publish Progress 8 data for independent schools and independent special schools. Progress 8 scores are available to view here.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

-

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
