About WMG Academy for Young Engineers

WMG Academy for Young Engineers posts a Progress 8 score of -0.44, which places it well below the Coventry local authority average of 0.07 for secondary schools. That gap of over half a grade per subject is significant and puts the school in the bottom 15% nationally by this measure. In the local rankings, it sits 18th out of 24 similar schools, meaning roughly three-quarters of Coventry secondaries achieve stronger academic progress from Key Stage 2 to 4. The school's Attainment 8 score of 44.5 is also modest, and only 37.6% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs. On the EBacc measure, just 2.4% of students entered the full suite of subjects, and the average EBacc APS sits at 3.45. These headline figures suggest that for a family focused on academic progression, this school is not performing at the level of its local peers.
