About The Brittons Academy

The Brittons Academy in Havering posts a Progress 8 score of -0.28, which places it significantly below the local authority average of 0.11 for secondary schools. This means that, on average, pupils here achieve nearly a third of a grade less per subject across their eight best GCSEs than students in other Havering schools with similar starting points. The school ranks 15th out of 17 state secondaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom 88th percentile locally and the bottom 70th percentile nationally. While the headline figure is a concern, the picture is not uniform across all subjects: Progress 8 in open subjects (non-core) is -0.07, much closer to the national average, whereas maths drags the overall score down to -0.57. English sits at -0.3, and the EBacc subjects as a group at -0.37. The Attainment 8 score of 43.6 is also below the typical Havering benchmark, and only 36.2% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths.
