Key Stage 4 Results
Progress 8 is a recently introduced school performance measure that indicates the progress made for all students between Keystage 2 (Year 6) and GCSEs (Year 11) across a range of subjects. It includes every student, every grade, and potentially every subject, unlike previous 5A*- C headline measures.
The progress 8 score for a student is the difference between their score and the national average score for a student with the same Keystage2 score. The school progress 8 score is the average of each students’ individual score.
A score of 0 means that the Progress 8 score for a school is in line with the national average levels of progress. A positive score means that the progress 8 score for a school is above the national average. A negative score means that the progress 8 score for a school is below the national average.
If you would like to find out more about the Progress 8 measure, please contact Mrs N Burgess at burgessn@wellandparkacademy.com to make an appointment with a member of the leadership team.

What is Progress 8?
Progress 8 shows how much progress students make at our school from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school. A score of 0 means pupils made progress in line with the national average. A positive score means our students made more progress than average, while a negative score means less progress.
*There will not be a Progress 8 figure for the 2025 GCSE results, due to the absence of KS2 results during the COVID lockdown at that time.
Attainment 8
The 2024 Attainment figure of 53.4 (DfE Performance Table above) placed WPA well above both local and national averages.
English and Maths
WPA students have achieved a combined pass rate in English and Maths which is well above the national and local averages every year. The figure for 5+ English and Maths placed WPA in the top 5 schools in Leicestershire for this measure in 2024.
