About St Peter's Catholic High School and Sixth Form Centre

The school's Progress 8 score sits at -0. 09, which is below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 0. 19, though the banding is classified as 'Average' nationally. This means pupils overall make slightly less progress than peers across the country, but the gap is modest. Within Gloucester, the school ranks 8th out of 9 schools on this measure, placing it in the bottom half locally. However, the Attainment 8 score of 45. 1 tells a more nuanced story: 66. 8% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, while 46. 2% reached the higher grade 5 threshold. The EBacc average points score of 3. 83 reflects a curriculum that covers the full range of academic subjects, though only 14. 7% of pupils entered the EBacc suite.
