About Queen Elizabeth's Academy

Queen Elizabeth's Academy in Mansfield posts a Progress 8 score of -0.95, which is significantly below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of -0.11 for secondary schools. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally and ranks it 42nd out of 46 schools of its type in the county. The Attainment 8 score sits at 31.3, and only 16.7% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc entry rate is 32%, though just 4.7% of students achieved the full EBacc at grade 5 or above. These headline metrics paint a clear picture: this is a school where academic outcomes are well below the local norm, and the gap between its performance and the LA average is substantial.
