About Granville Academy

Granville Academy is a secondary school in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 909 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 46.5 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 1.0 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle 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. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 37% 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. Granville 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. 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.
