About Etone College

Etone College’s Progress 8 score of 0.29 places it well above the Warwickshire local authority average of 0.02 for secondary schools, meaning pupils here make significantly more academic progress than their peers across the county. This is a strong performance for a non-selective state school, and it’s reflected in the school’s ranking: second out of eight schools in the Nuneaton and Bedworth borough, and tenth out of 42 across the whole of Warwickshire. Nationally, Etone sits in the top 28% of schools for Progress 8. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 48.9 is also solid, and 55.3% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. What’s particularly striking is that 65.8% of pupils entered the English Baccalaureate, a much higher take-up than many schools, and 23.6% achieved it at the stronger 5+ grade level. This suggests a deliberate push towards a broad academic curriculum.
