About Bramcote College
Bramcote College, a mixed state secondary in Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2017 and 2024 inspections. The school’s Progress 8 score sits at exactly 0, meaning pupils achieve GCSE results in line with the national average. This is a notably strong outcome when set against the Nottinghamshire local authority average of -0.11, indicating that Bramcote pupils make slightly better progress than their peers across the wider county. The Attainment 8 score of 47.9 reinforces this picture of solid academic performance, with 66.7 per cent of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in both English and maths. In maths specifically, the school’s Progress 8 score of +0.18 shows pupils are pulling ahead of expectations, while English progress is slightly below average at -0.08. The school’s EBacc average point score of 4.2 and a 23.5 per cent entry rate into the EBacc suite of subjects suggest a curriculum that prioritises breadth, though the proportion of pupils achieving the EBacc at grade 5 or above is 16.7 per cent.
