CORE City Academy in Birmingham has been ranked as one of the most improved schools in the UK for student progress, according to the latest rankings published by The Excellence Hub.
CORE City Academy was ranked as the 12th most improved school in the country. These rankings showcase CORE City Academy's dedication to ensuring every student can succeed.
The rankings judged schools by their ‘progress 8 gain’. Progress 8 (P8) is a value-added measure that compares a pupil's progress from the end of primary school to the end of year 11 to other pupils with similar starting points.
Rebecca Bakewell, headteacher at the CORE City Academy, said: “Being named the 12th most improved school in the UK is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our staff, students, and the entire school community,"
"We are immensely proud of the progress our students have made and remain committed to providing them with the highest standard of education, ensuring they are fully prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead." The Excellence Hub, a platform for educational improvement, tracks progress and improvements in schools nationwide, providing a clear picture of where schools are excelling.
CORE City Academy's performance in these rankings underscores the effectiveness of its tailored approach to teaching, an inclusive school culture, and a focus on equipping students with the skills needed for success in both academic and personal development.
