The Progress 8 (P8) measure is a secondary school accountability system. It aims to encourage schools to teach a broad curriculum and reward schools that teach all pupils well. It measures pupils’ progress across eight subjects from age 11 to 16.

Freman’s P8 scores have always placed us amongst the top schools nationally. Our most recent P8 score (for 2024) is 0.58.

It is not possible for the DfE to calculate P8 scores for 2026 (or for 2025) due to the impact of the Covid pandemic.
