About Salisbury Sixth Form College

Salisbury Sixth Form College stands out against the Wiltshire average for its type, but not in the way you might expect from a headline metric. The college’s Progress 8 score for its A-level students is 0.22, which is notably above the local authority average of -0.01. That gap of 0.23 of a grade per subject is a meaningful difference, suggesting students here typically make stronger progress than their peers across other Wiltshire schools. The progress banding is officially rated as “Above average,” and the confidence interval (0.09 to 0.36) sits entirely above zero, so this isn’t a fluke. However, the college is not a grammar school — the nearest Outstanding-rated school is Bishop Wordsworth’s Church of England Grammar School, just 0.6 km away — and its overall points per entry grade sits at a solid C (31.18 points). So while it doesn’t chase the very highest grades, it delivers reliable, above-average value for the students it takes on.
