About The John Wallis Church of England Academy
The John Wallis Church of England Academy in Ashford was rated Good across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has now held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. Its Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year stands at -0. 72, which means pupils at this school achieve, on average, nearly three-quarters of a grade less per subject than pupils with similar starting points nationally. This places the school in the ‘Well below average’ banding for progress. The Attainment 8 score is 31. 8, and only 40. 3% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths, with that figure dropping to 20. 3% for a grade 5 or above. The school’s EBacc average point score is 2. 73, and just 5. 9% of pupils entered the EBacc combination of subjects.
