Northampton Academy is the top school in Northampton and the second in all Northamptonshire for the new headline Progress 8 figure.

Nat Parnell, Principal of Northampton Academy, is extremely proud of all the students and staff who have worked very hard to achieve these fantastic results. “These results demonstrate the excellent progress made by our GCSE students during their time at the academy. The figures provide a strong indication that, by attending Northampton Academy, our students are being given every opportunity to develop their learning and skills in ways that not only deliver strong academic performances but also equip them for the world of work and higher education. That they are performing better here than would have been expected from their potential on joining the academy is testament to their hard work and to the culture and ethos of achievement that runs through this school."

Progress 8 explained
Progress 8 tells us how will pupils at the school have progressed between the end of primary school (key stage 2) and the end of secondary school (key stage 4), compared to pupils in other schools who got similar results at the end of primary school. This score is based on results in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, mathematics, three qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional qualifications.

The average Progress 8 score for 'mainstream' schools in England is 0. Mainstream schools are schools that aren't special schools or 'alternative provision settings' (for example pupil referral units). Most schools score between –1 and +1. If a school scores +1 and above, it shows that pupils made exceptionally good progress. If the score is below –0.5, the school may come under increased scrutiny and receive additional support.
