Kemnal Technology College
About Kemnal Technology College
Kemnal Technology College's headline Progress 8 score of -0.92 places it well below the Bromley local authority average of 0.13, a gap of over a full grade per subject that makes it the lowest-ranked secondary in the borough out of 21 schools. This is a school where academic outcomes are significantly weaker than its peers, and the data is consistent across every measure: Attainment 8 sits at 32, compared with a national average typically around 50, and only 15.9% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The school's Progress 8 banding is officially classified as 'well below average', and it ranks 19th out of 19 in Bromley, placing it in the bottom 50 nationally. For parents looking at raw numbers, the contrast with the LA average is stark, and it's worth understanding why before making a decision.
