Lift Winton
About Lift Winton
Lift Winton’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2024, confirmed the school remains Outstanding, a rating it first earned in a graded inspection back in 2018. That’s a strong headline, but the real story is in the exam data. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year sits at 0. 81, which is classified as well above average nationally. To put that in context, the average Progress 8 score for secondary schools across Hampshire is -0. 17, meaning Lift Winton is pushing nearly a full grade higher per subject than the typical local school. In fact, it ranks second out of 80 schools of the same type in the local authority, and 29th out of 461 across the South East region. Maths is a particular strength, with a Progress 8 score of 1. 34, while English sits at 0. 58 and the EBacc element at 0. 79.
