Four schools in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin achieve 'above average' or 'well above average' Progress 8 scores, with high percentages of pupils staying in education or entering employment. The Priory School and Newport Girls' High School Academy achieve the highest scores in the region.
The 'Progress 8' score shows how much progress has been made by pupils between the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4 .
A total of 76 out of 86 pupils at the end of Key stage 4 are included in calculating this Progress 8 score. On pupils' return to school following the Covid lockdown, the school introduced a 'Bourne Back Curriculum' for this year group. Thomas Telford School also achieved a well above average score of 0.56, meaning pupils here achieved more than half a grade higher in each qualification on average, compared to similar pupils across the country.
