About Conisborough College

Conisborough College in Lewisham was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection, and its academic data tells a story that parents will want to examine closely. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year was -0.39, which means pupils on average achieved nearly half a grade less per subject than their peers nationally with similar starting points. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally and ranks it 15th out of 15 secondary schools in Lewisham, the lowest in the local authority. The local authority average Progress 8 score is 0.11, so Conisborough sits well below that benchmark. The Attainment 8 score of 35.1 is also modest, and only 36.2% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs. The school’s EBacc entry rate is low at 14.9%, and just 3.4% of pupils entered the full EBacc and achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths.
