About Chislehurst School for Girls

The school's Progress 8 score of 0.18 is the most telling academic metric, placing it comfortably above the local authority average of 0.13 for Bromley.

The school ranks 8th out of 19 similar schools in Bromley, putting it in the top half of the local league table. Nationally, it sits in the 36th percentile, which is a solid mid-table position for a state secondary.
