The metric tracks the GCSE performance of pupils at English state-funded schools in comparison to the performance of others who achieved the same results at the end of year six.
A positive score for a school indicates that pupils collectively improved more than the national average. A negative score does not mean no progress was made, rather that less was made than on average nationwide.
Ashington Academy’s score of +0.79 made it the best performing mainstream school by this metric in Northumberland for 2023.
