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. It seems likely that when the final P8 scores for 2024 are published, our P8 will be in line with our previous excellent scores.
