About Christ The King Catholic High School

Christ The King Catholic High School in Preston posts a Progress 8 score of -0.05, which is slightly above the Lancashire local authority average of -0.11 for secondary schools. That puts it in the 'Average' banding nationally, meaning pupils here make about as much progress as similar students across England. In the local rankings among 90 same-type schools, it sits at 32nd place, and within Preston itself it ranks 6th out of 11 secondaries. The school's Attainment 8 score of 37.9 reflects the average grade achieved across eight GCSE subjects, while 49.4% of pupils secured a grade 4 or above in both English and maths. The EBacc average point score of 3.16 is modest, and only 16.5% of students entered the full EBacc suite of subjects. Compared with the top-performing local schools like Preston Muslim Girls High School (Progress 8 of 1.06) or Eden Boys' School (0.84), Christ The King is clearly not in the same league academically, but it does outperform the typical Lancashire state secondary on the headline progress measure.
