About Christ Church Academy

Christ Church Academy, a Church of England secondary in Staffordshire for pupils aged 9 to 13, sits in a local authority where the average Progress 8 score for state secondary schools is -0.18. That figure is slightly below the national average of zero, which means the typical school in the area helps pupils make a little less academic progress than their peers across England. Christ Church Academy itself does not have a published Progress 8 score in the available data, so it is not possible to say whether it outperforms or underperforms the LA average on that specific metric. However, the school does hold a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2012, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good. That puts it in a solid position compared with the 75 other state secondaries in the authority, of which only five are rated Outstanding.
