About Big Creative Academy

Big Creative Academy is a 16-19 state secondary in Waltham Forest, and its headline metrics sit well below the local authority average for its school type. The LA’s average Progress 8 score is -0.07, but the academy has no Progress 8 score recorded at all, which is unusual for a mainstream secondary. Its Attainment 8 score is just 2.7, compared with a typical local figure that would be far higher, and its EBacc average point score is 0.26. No students entered the EBacc, and none achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. This is a school that serves a very specific cohort — its capacity is only 20 pupils — so the numbers are tiny and the metrics reflect a highly specialised intake rather than a broad academic programme.
