About Nottingham Girls' Academy

Nottingham Girls’ Academy stands out sharply against the local authority average for secondary schools. While the Nottingham LA average Progress 8 score sits at -0.25, this school does not publish a Progress 8 figure, so a direct comparison on that measure isn’t possible. However, its Attainment 8 score of 72 is notably high — well above the national average of around 50 — and its EBacc average point score of 5.86 is strong. The school also achieves a 96.7% pass rate in basics (English and maths) at grade 4 or above, and 94.4% at grade 5 or above. These figures suggest pupils here are achieving well above what the LA average would predict, even without the Progress 8 data to confirm value-added. It is one of only three schools in Nottingham rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 21 state secondaries, placing it in a very small group of top-performing schools locally.
