About King's Academy Brune Park

King's Academy Brune Park sits in a challenging position compared with the Hampshire local authority average for secondary schools. The LA's average Progress 8 score is -0.17, a figure that already indicates below-average pupil progress across the county. While the school's own Progress 8 score is not provided in the data, its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated overall effectiveness as Inadequate, a stark contrast to the three schools in the LA that hold an Outstanding rating. The school's behaviour and attitudes were also judged Inadequate, and leadership and management Requires Improvement. With 36.6 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which may partly explain its performance metrics relative to the wider LA picture.
