School 21

About School 21

School 21 sits in the middle of the pack in Newham, but its headline Progress 8 score of -0.05 is a notable 0.18 points below the local authority average of 0.13. That gap is modest, but it places the school 14th out of 26 secondary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half. What makes this more interesting is the variation beneath that headline figure. While overall progress is slightly negative, pupils make significantly stronger progress in maths, with a Progress 8 score of +0.39, well above the LA average. That strength is offset by weaker progress in open subjects (-0.37) and English (-0.03). The school's Attainment 8 score of 45.9 and EBacc average point score of 4.08 are solid, but only 31% of pupils entered the EBacc, and just 12.7% achieved the full suite at grade 5 or above. For a school where 47% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, these results tell a story of uneven but real academic strengths.
