Astrea Academy Dearne

About Astrea Academy Dearne

Astrea Academy Dearne’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.67 places it below the Barnsley local authority average of -0.51, meaning pupils here make less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSEs than their peers across the borough. That gap is significant enough to put the school ninth out of eleven secondary schools in Barnsley, and in the bottom 50 per cent nationally. The school’s Progress 8 banding is officially described as ‘well below average’. Digging into the subject breakdown, the weakest areas are maths and the open bucket (which includes arts and vocational qualifications), both scoring -0.86, while English is the strongest at -0.39. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 39.6 is modest, and just 37 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths, compared with 55.6 per cent at grade 4 or above. The EBacc average point score of 3.64 and the fact that only 17.1 per cent of pupils entered the full EBacc at grade 5 or above suggest a curriculum that is not heavily weighted toward the traditional academic suite.
