- Find those grammar schools in your grammar schools catchment area. Then compare your chosen school group on those criteria which are most important to you.
- You need to also review all the relevant Ofsted school reports for each of your local grammar schools.
- Each Ofsted report is an analysis of that school’s teachers’ professional competence Plus, whether Ofsted’s performance standards have been met across the school. There are three possible outcomes: under-achieving; achieving; or outstanding.
- You then can access each local grammar school’s history of Ofsted inspections and their associated scores, percentage of Progress 8 success, etc.
- More refined searches are recommended. So, for grammar schools, we advise checking GCSE results…
- Then compare these against the national standards for GCSE results. Which of those grammar schools you are checking exceeded these national averages?
