Lift Beacon High
About Lift Beacon High
Lift Beacon High holds a Good rating from Ofsted, placing it within the majority of Islington's secondary schools that have not reached the top grade. The most revealing measure of its academic performance is the Progress 8 score, which tracks how much pupils improve from primary school to GCSEs compared with the national average. While the school's individual Progress 8 figure is not available in the data, the local authority average for Islington is 0.28, meaning pupils across the borough typically achieve nearly a third of a grade more per subject than the national baseline. This suggests Lift Beacon High operates within a strong academic context, though without its own score, it is hard to say precisely how it compares to neighbours like Central Foundation Boys' School, which has a ranking score of 0.56, or Highbury Fields School at 0.43.
