About All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham

All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham sits in a challenging position compared with the Gloucestershire local authority average for secondary schools. Its Progress 8 score of -0.27 is notably below the LA average of 0.19, meaning that, on average, pupils here make less academic progress between Year 7 and Year 11 than their peers across the county. The school ranks 37th out of 44 similar schools in the authority, placing it in the bottom tier locally. Its Attainment 8 score of 38.8 is also modest, and only 26.9% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc entry rate is low at 18.9%, with just 4.6% achieving the full EBacc at grade 5 or above. These headline figures suggest a school where academic outcomes are a clear area for development, particularly when set against the strong performance of nearby grammar schools like Pate's, which sits just 0.9 km away.
