On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

48% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 70% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Stanchester 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.
