Stradbroke High School
About Stradbroke High School
Stradbroke High School stands out sharply against the Suffolk local authority average for secondary schools, which sits at -0.17 for Progress 8. The school’s own Progress 8 score of +0.37 is not just comfortably above that baseline but places it second out of seven schools in the Mid Suffolk district and in the top 25 per cent nationally. That positive score means pupils here make significantly more academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSE than pupils across similar schools in the county. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 45.9 and its basics measure — 73.1 per cent of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths — reinforce the picture of a school that is delivering strong results for its 339 pupils. With 21.2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, these outcomes are particularly notable and suggest the school is effective at supporting a broad intake.
