About St Antony's Roman Catholic School, a Voluntary Academy
St Antony's Roman Catholic School sits in a local authority where the average Progress 8 score for secondary schools is 0.36, well above the national baseline. The school's own Progress 8 score of -0.17 places it significantly below that LA average, and it ranks 16th out of 20 secondary schools in Trafford. That puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, at the 62nd percentile. The gap is most pronounced in maths, where the school's Progress 8 score is -0.42, and in English, where it is -0.25. However, the EBacc element of Progress 8 is essentially flat at -0.01, suggesting pupils taking those subjects perform in line with expectations. The school's Attainment 8 score of 43.3 is modest, and only 29.3% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs, compared with 61.7% achieving a grade 4 or above. Just 3.8% entered the EBacc combination of subjects.
