About Ormiston Maritime Academy

Ormiston Maritime Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.76 places it below the North East Lincolnshire local authority average of -0.57, and the school ranks 9th out of 12 similar secondary schools in the area. This means that, on average, pupils here achieve nearly three-quarters of a grade less per subject than the national average, and the gap is wider than the typical LA school. The school’s progress in English is notably lower at -0.83, while maths is slightly stronger at -0.58. The Attainment 8 score sits at 36.1, and just 29.3% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The school’s Progress 8 banding is described as “well below average,” and nationally it ranks in the bottom 8% of schools. These figures paint a clear picture: Ormiston Maritime faces significant academic challenges compared with its local peers.
