DfE Performance Tables
The DfE Performance Tables are updated annually in November of each year and give a full picture of the school performance data for the most recent full academic year.
We publish this validated data each year at this time – but already we can state that our 2025 outcomes are exceptionally strong.
The DfE Performance Tables 2023-2024 for The Friary School can be found here.
The DfE Performance Tables also allow parents to compare schools in Staffordshire and this data can be found here.

The following data relates to our Year 11 cohort from the last validated set of exam data in Summer 2025 but is unvalidated (the Progress Scores were produced by SISRA so are creditable):
| Progress 8 Score = +0.93 (Well Above Average) | National Average = 0.0 |
| % of Students Entering the E-Bacc = 62% | National Average = 40% |
| % of Students Scoring a Grade 5 in GCSE English & Maths = 66% | National Average = 46% |
| % Staying in Education / Entering Employment = 97% | National Average = 93% |
| Attainment 8 Score = 57.1 | National Average = 45.9 |
Statutory Sixth Form Data
The following statutory reported performance data related to our Year 13 cohort from the last validated set of exam data in Summer 2024.
In terms of student outcomes the Department for Education did not use progress measures due to the students having received Teacher Assessed Grades for their baseline GCSEs. Instead, the Performance Tables will focus on average grades until Summer 2025:
| A-Level Average Grade = B- (36.82) Vocational Average Grade = Distinction + (39.46) Students Progressing to Higher Education or Training = 99% |
National Average = B (35.55) National Average = Distinction- (29.17) National Average = 92% |
