How we read the data

Summary

Yateley School sits 23rd of 68 state secondaries in Hampshire for average GCSE grade. 70.1% of its pupils passed both English and maths, against 65.1% across Hampshire. 47.5% reached the stronger grade 5 in both. Subject by subject it is furthest clear of Hampshire in maths and art, sat by 17% of the year,, and furthest behind in English Literature and Spanish, sat by 10% of the year. Ofsted: Good in January 2018, confirmed in June 2023.

It is a school of 1,370 pupils, taking ages 11 to 18 and running its own sixth form. 11.9% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, and 17.2% are on SEN support with a further 0.5% holding an education, health and care plan. 21.1% were entered for the full EBacc, fewer than the 33.6% entered across Hampshire, which is a choice about how broad a curriculum to push, and 32.8% took the separate sciences rather than combined. 16.6% of pupils missed a tenth of school or more, better than the 20.9% across Hampshire, and 89.1% of its leavers went on to further education.

Subject comparisons are measured at grade 4 or above against Hampshire, and count as ahead or behind only where the gap is wider than the year-to-year swing that entry group would produce.

Last inspected June 2023

The grade itself is 8 years old.

  • June 2023 Ungraded inspection School remains Good
  • January 2018 Full inspection Good

An ungraded inspection checks whether the existing grade still holds rather than replacing it.

That grade was given under the framework Ofsted used before September 2019.

Every bar is on the same 0–100% scale, so subjects can be read against each other as well as against the county and England. A dash means the figure does not exist rather than being zero. The county and England lines cover state-funded schools only, the same schools you can browse here, because independent schools sit outside the Department for Education's subject release and outside this site.

Compare these subjects against another school, side by side.

After sixth form

Of the 138 students who finished, 47.1% went on to higher education, 4.3% to an apprenticeship, and 34.8% into work. 87.7% were in a sustained destination of some kind six months later.

Destinations are for 2022/23 leavers, the most recent DfE has published. The results above are 2024/25.

What these mean

Attainment 8
The average pupil's total score across eight GCSE-equivalent subjects, with English and maths counting double. It is scored out of 90. A score of 50 is roughly equivalent to achieving a grade 5 across eight subjects.
Grades 4 and 5
GCSEs are graded from 9 down to 1. Grade 4 is a standard pass and broadly corresponds to the old grade C; grade 5 is what the government calls a strong pass. Grade 7 is broadly equivalent to an old grade A.
The EBacc
A combination of subjects rather than a qualification in its own right: English, Maths, the Sciences, a Language, and History or Geography. The figure shows the share of pupils entered for all the EBacc subject areas, so it gives an indication of how widely a school enters pupils for this particular combination of subjects.
Progress 8
A measure of how much progress pupils make between the end of primary school and the end of GCSE, rather than simply what grades they achieve. It takes pupils' prior attainment into account, making it useful for comparing schools with different intakes. Progress 8 is not published for 2024/25 because the pupils concerned did not have Key Stage 2 tests that can be used as the normal starting point.
Percentage points
The gap between two percentages. A subject going from 30% to 36% has risen six percentage points, though it has risen by a fifth. We write "pp" to keep the two apart.
Why some subjects say nothing
A year group is small. Where a gap is no bigger than the swing a different intake would produce, we say the subjects are level rather than dressing chance as a finding. Two kinds of subject carry no share at all: a vocational award has no 9-to-1 grade to report, and some qualifications are not published on the 9-to-1 scale for a given year group, most often community languages sat outside the school's own timetable.
Persistent absence
The share of pupils who miss at least 10% of their possible sessions during the school year. This includes both authorised and unauthorised absence, so illness and other authorised reasons are included. Persistent absence has remained substantially higher than its pre-pandemic level.
Spare places
The amount of available capacity a school has compared with the number of pupils on roll. This is different from oversubscription: spare places measure whether a school has capacity, whereas oversubscription describes demand for places exceeding the number available. A school with no spare places may be popular, but a small school can also be full without receiving a large number of applications.
Grades not published
Where a subject was sat by only a few students, the Department for Education publishes how many entered and withholds the grades, so that individual students cannot be identified from the figures. The subject is shown, because the school does teach it, but there is nothing to compare. Most A level groups are small enough for this to apply somewhere on a page.
Average A-level grade
The average grade achieved across students' A-level entries. This is different from measures such as the proportion achieving AAB or better in two or more facilitating subjects, which are sometimes used to indicate higher attainment and university-entry performance.

Tutorperch School report by Tutorperch
Covers state-funded schools in England; independent schools are not included. The four figures at the top compare against the Department for Education's national release, which counts special schools and alternative provision as well, so it sits slightly below the average of the schools listed on this site. Subject comparisons are pooled from those schools directly.
