The Stanway School
About The Stanway School
The Stanway School is a secondary school in Colchester, Essex, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 1,383 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 48.2 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 0.9 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 37% of secondary schools nationally.
54% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 74% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The Stanway 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.
