About The Calder Learning Trust
The Calder Learning Trust holds a Good rating from Ofsted across all categories in its most recent inspection, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school’s Progress 8 score sits at exactly zero, meaning that on average, pupils achieve the progress expected nationally. This places it in the ‘Average’ banding for progress. However, the picture is more nuanced when you break it down by subject: progress in English is slightly positive at 0.11, while maths lags behind at -0.42. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 47.6 is a solid benchmark, and 62.3% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. In the local context of Calderdale, the school ranks 9th out of 12 secondary schools by Progress 8, which puts it in the 75th percentile locally. The local authority average Progress 8 is 0.06, so the school is just a hair below that, but still comfortably within the national average range.
