USP College

About USP College

USP College, a state sixth-form college in Castle Point, Essex, serves students aged 16 to 99 and is co-educational. Its headline academic metrics sit well below the local authority average for secondary schools. The college’s Progress 8 score, which measures pupil progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSEs, is not directly comparable here as the school only offers post-16 study, but its A-level value added score of -0.69 is significantly lower than the Essex LA average Progress 8 of -0.18. This value added score places the college in the ‘well below average’ progress banding, meaning students typically achieve lower A-level grades than their prior attainment would predict. With a points per entry of 22.86, equating to a D+ grade, and only 1.3% of entries achieving AAB or higher, the college’s outcomes are markedly weaker than the top-performing grammar schools in the area, such as King Edward VI Grammar School in Chelmsford, which has a ranking score of 1.11.
