Results, Performance Tables
We have been working very hard at Brakenhale over the last few years to raise the students’ performance in all areas. Due to the outbreak of Covid 19, the Department for Education have announced that they are not publishing school, college or multi-academy trust (MAT) level performance data, based on summer 2021 tests, assessments and exams at any phase. This is the same announcement that was given for the summer 2020 examination series.
We have indicated below the latest available published performance data for summer 2019 plus some internally produced comparison data from summer 2020 and summer 2021.
For guidance and more information on Performance Tables please visit the GOV.UK school performance website
You can also find out more information on the Ofsted website - a downloadable copy of the Ofsted Report is on our Ofsted page
