The Stourport High School and Sixth Form College
About The Stourport High School and Sixth Form College
The Stourport High School and Sixth Form College was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. That improvement is reflected across all five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — each now rated Good. But the exam data tells a more complicated story. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year sits at -0. 7, which is well below the national average and places it in the bottom 50 nationally. To put that in context, the average Progress 8 score for secondary schools in Worcestershire is -0. 21, so Stourport is significantly behind its local peers. Within the Wyre Forest area, the school ranks 5th out of 6 schools on this measure, and across the West Midlands it sits at 335th out of 371. The Attainment 8 score of 38. 4 is also modest, and only 46. 4% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths.
