About Bishop Perowne CofE College

Bishop Perowne CofE College was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024, a rating it has held consistently since its previous inspection in 2018. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year sits at -0.17, which places it in the ‘Average’ banding nationally. That figure is slightly above the Worcestershire local authority average of -0.21, meaning pupils here make progress broadly in line with the national average and a touch better than the typical school in the area. Within Worcester itself, the school ranks third out of five secondary schools on this measure. The Attainment 8 score of 43.4 gives a snapshot of overall GCSE performance, and 58% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths — the basics measure. The school’s Ebacc entry rate is high at 78.4%, though the proportion actually achieving the Ebacc at grade 5 or above is 15.3%, reflecting a gap between entry and attainment.
