About Greig City Academy

Greig City Academy’s Progress 8 score of 0.47 sits comfortably above the Haringey local authority average of 0.33, placing it fourth out of 14 secondary schools in the borough. That puts it in the top 25 per cent of schools nationally on this key measure of pupil progress, and within striking distance of the three top-ranked schools in the area. The school’s attainment 8 score of 43.3 and its EBacc average point score of 3.62 give a solid academic baseline, but it’s the progress figure that really stands out: pupils here, on average, achieve nearly half a grade more per subject than their peers with similar starting points across England. With 35.3 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, this is a school that is clearly adding significant value for a cohort with above-average disadvantage.
