Stanground Academy at a glance

Located in Peterborough, Stanground Academy is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. The school educates roughly 1,526 pupils aged 11 to 19. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 46.7, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That marks an improvement of 1.7 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 44% of secondary schools nationally.

43% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 69% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Stanground Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 251 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 6.52 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 90% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 7.3%. There are about 15.7 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
