Waverley Studio College

Waverley Studio College at a glance

Located in Birmingham, Waverley Studio College is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a studio school. The school educates roughly 251 pupils aged 14 to 19. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 21.9, well below the national average of 46. That is down 4.5 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

13% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 26% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. After Year 11, 75% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 17.7%. There are about 14.8 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 57% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Waverley Studio College 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.
