About Ken Stimpson Academy
Ken Stimpson Academy’s Progress 8 score of -0.24 places it well below the Peterborough local authority average of 0.03, a gap that marks it as one of the weaker performers in the area. Ranked 10th out of 12 secondary schools in Peterborough, it sits in the bottom half of the local table, and nationally it falls in the 67th percentile among 3,141 schools. This is a school where, on average, pupils make less academic progress than their peers across the LA, and the data suggests this is a consistent pattern rather than a one-off blip. The school’s attainment 8 score of 39.5 and its EBacc average point score of 3.27 both reflect this below-average standing. For parents comparing options, the headline metrics are a clear signal that Ken Stimpson is not an academic outlier in a positive sense, and the challenge is to understand what it does offer instead.
