About Southport Education Group

Southport Education Group is a 16-99 state secondary in Sefton, and its headline sixth-form metrics sit well below the local authority average for similar schools. The school’s Progress 8 score for A-levels is -0.63, which is actually slightly worse than Sefton’s LA average Progress 8 of -0.59. That gap is small but consistent: the value-added score’s confidence interval runs from -0.71 to -0.55, meaning the school is reliably underperforming relative to other local sixth forms. Its progress banding is officially classed as “Well below average.” With 278 pupils in the 2023/24 cohort, it’s a sizeable sixth form, but the headline numbers suggest students here typically leave with lower grades than peers at schools like Formby High, which tops the local ranking with a score of 0.43. For parents comparing options, this is a clear signal that academic value-added is not the school’s strength.
