About Saint Mary Magdalene Church of England All Through School

Saint Mary Magdalene Church of England All Through School sits in a challenging position within Greenwich’s secondary landscape. Its Progress 8 score of -0.27 places it well below the local authority average of 0.1, meaning pupils here make significantly less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSEs than their peers across the borough. This gap is reflected in its ranking: 11th out of 15 state secondaries in Greenwich, putting it in the bottom third locally and the bottom half nationally. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 43.9 is modest, and only 44.6% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics 9-5 measure), compared with 65.7% at the standard 9-4 threshold. With 44.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which may partly explain these outcomes, but the data shows there is clear room for improvement in accelerating pupil progress.
