The Department for Education (DfE) has shared updated information about how secondary schools in Islington performed in 2024.

The data gives each school a score to show how much progress students made between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4.

In the Progress 8 system, a score of zero is effectively average and means a school's pupils progressed in line with the average rate for other children across the country who achieved similar results at the end of Key Stage 2.

A score above zero means that school's pupils have progressed more, and a score below zero means that pupils made less progress.

We’ve compiled a list of secondary schools in the borough and their respective scores.

Special schools and independent schools have been excluded from this list.
