Smestow is officially one of the most improved secondary schools in the country!

I am delighted that we can now officially celebrate our wonderful GCSE exam results from last
Summer as the performance tables have now been published by the Department for Education. As
we thought, we are one of the most improved schools in the country for pupil Progress (21st most
improved Progress 8 score out of over 3000 secondary schools), and we have moved from being 4th
worst for pupil progress in Wolverhampton (out of the 20 secondary schools) to 6th best in the space
of one year! Please see below link:

years:

I would also like to thank parents for their support in continuing to help us improve attendance at
school as we have now surpassed the national average figure from, once upon a time, being one of
the worst attending schools in the country. Our 3.5% increase last academic year from (85.4% To
88.9%) has now been followed by a 3.4% increase so far this year to 92.3%. A true example of
‘Success achieved together’, where less of our children will have gaps in their learning and will be
able to maximise their achievements and progress.
