The Blue School
About The Blue School
The Blue School is a secondary school in Wells, Somerset, classified by the DfE as an academy converter with a Church of England religious character. Around 1,357 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 49.7 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 1.7 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 30% of secondary schools nationally.
51% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 71% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The Blue School 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.
