About XP East

XP East, a mixed state secondary in Doncaster, recorded a Progress 8 score of -0.33 in its most recent results, which is notably below the local authority average of -0.04 for similar schools. This places the school 17th out of 20 secondary schools in Doncaster, putting it in the bottom quarter of the LA. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 44.4, and while 67.4% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, that figure drops to 39.1% at grade 5 or above. The EBacc average point score is 4.11, with 47.8% of pupils entering the EBacc combination of subjects. These headline metrics suggest that, on average, pupils leave XP East with slightly lower academic progress than their peers across Doncaster, though the school’s Progress 8 banding is officially classed as ‘Average’, meaning the difference is not statistically extreme.
