About Bury College

Bury College, a state-funded 16-99 mixed secondary in Bury, North West, presents a distinctive picture when compared against its local authority averages. The school’s Progress 8 score is not available in the data, which makes direct headline comparison tricky, but its Attainment 8 score of 20.3 sits well below the typical LA benchmark for this phase. For context, the LA average Progress 8 for similar schools is -0.02, a figure that suggests most local secondaries are performing roughly in line with national expectations. Bury College’s EBacc average point score of 2.14 and its basics pass rates — 33.3% at grade 4 or above and just 16.7% at grade 5 or above — are notably lower than what you’d expect from a typical Bury secondary. The school also has a very small capacity of just 45 pupils, which is unusual for a state secondary and likely shapes its intimate, focused environment. With no EBacc entries at the higher 9-4 threshold and only 16.7% of pupils entered for the EBacc at all, the data suggests a cohort that is not pursuing the traditional academic pathway in large numbers.
