In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 53.0, above the national average of 46. That is down 2.2 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 19% of secondary schools in England.

55% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 78% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The Cotswold Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
