About Royal Greenwich Trust School

Royal Greenwich Trust School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school’s Progress 8 score of -0.36, however, tells a more nuanced story. This metric, which measures pupils’ academic progress from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school compared with the national average, places the school in the ‘Below average’ banding. It also ranks 14th out of 15 secondary schools in the Greenwich local authority, putting it in the bottom third nationally. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 39.7, and just over half of pupils (55.6%) achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths. These figures reflect a school that has stabilised its leadership and behaviour but is still working to lift academic outcomes for its largely disadvantaged cohort.

The school’s exam results show a mixed picture across different subject areas. Progress in the EBacc subjects is the strongest of the core measures at -0.19, while progress in maths (-0.44) and English (-0.40) is notably weaker. The EBacc average points score is 3.49, and only 25% of pupils entered the EBacc combination of subjects, with just 6.9% achieving a grade 5 or above in all components. For context, the local authority average Progress 8 score is +0.1, meaning Royal Greenwich Trust School is performing 0.46 points below the typical Greenwich school. The school’s sixth form provision is also rated Good, and it offers a full A-level pathway, though specific sixth form outcomes are not available in the data. With 48.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged population, which provides important context for its attainment figures.

Royal Greenwich Trust School is a mixed, non-denominational secondary with a sixth form, located in the London borough of Greenwich. It is oversubscribed: for 171 Year 7 places in the 2025/26 admissions cycle, there were 457 total applications, with 119 first-preference applications and 106 first-preference offers. The school offers a wide range of facilities including a swimming pool, theatre, sports hall, astro turf, and a sixth form centre. Sports on offer include swimming, netball, hockey, rugby, and athletics, while extracurricular clubs include Drama, Art Club, Film Club, Duke of Edinburgh, and Young Enterprise. The school has a broad SEND provision, supporting pupils with specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, visual impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a school that has made clear progress in leadership and behaviour, and may suit families who value a stable, inclusive environment with strong pastoral support, particularly for pupils who need additional learning support.
