About Lord Grey Academy

Lord Grey Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.1 sits comfortably above the Milton Keynes local authority average of -0.21, meaning pupils here make slightly more academic progress than the typical student across the borough. That places the school 6th out of 16 state secondaries in the area, right in the middle of the pack, and within the top half nationally at the 57th percentile. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 43 is also solid, and its maths Progress 8 score of +0.34 is a clear standout — students are making well-above-average progress in maths compared with peers nationally. English Progress 8, at -0.22, is the weaker subject, but the overall picture is one of a school performing a notch above its local peers. With 33.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which makes its above-average progress all the more notable.
