Ninestiles, an Academy
About Ninestiles, an Academy
Ninestiles, an Academy sits just above the Birmingham local authority average for Progress 8, with a score of 0.12 against the LA average of 0.09. That places it 41st out of 95 secondary schools in the city, putting it in the top half but not among the top performers. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 45.8 and its EBacc average point score of 3.92 give a solid, middle-of-the-road picture. What stands out is the gap between English and maths: Progress 8 for English is a strong 0.42, while maths sits at -0.03 and the EBacc element is -0.14. So the school is clearly doing better with literacy than with numeracy or the full EBacc suite. With 56.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, this is a school serving a significantly disadvantaged intake, which makes that slightly positive Progress 8 score a meaningful achievement.
