About Hope Academy

Hope Academy is a secondary school in Newton-le-Willows, St. Helens, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led with a Church of England/Roman Catholic religious character. Around 1,288 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 43.8 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 1.1 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

32% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 57% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Hope 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.
