About Outwood Academy Brumby

Outwood Academy Brumby, a mixed secondary school in North Lincolnshire for pupils aged 11 to 16, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently since its previous inspection in 2015. The most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.23, which places the school in the bottom 50 nationally. This means that, on average, pupils achieve slightly less than expected progress compared with their peers across England. Within North Lincolnshire, the school ranks 5th out of 10 schools on this measure, putting it in the middle of the local pack. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 41.5, and 46.2% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths, compared with 63.1% achieving a grade 4 or above. While the headline Progress 8 figure is negative, the breakdown shows a more mixed picture: pupils made positive progress in English (0.22) but weaker progress in open subjects (-0.68) and languages (-0.48).
