Alleyne's Academy celebrates success.
We are extremely proud of the efforts of another wonderful cohort of students in 2024, with attainment at Alleyne’s Academy continuing to be positive.
Year 11 students at Alleyne’s Academy in Stone made good progress in many areas of our curriculum, particularly considering the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for this specific cohort.
Nationally our attainment data compares well, as can be seen in the table below:
Students obtained a Provisional Progress 8 score of +0.08 which means they attained grades that were better than similar students nationally in eight of the subjects passed in 2024.
The DfE has been keen to stress that comparing like-for-like P8 figures on a regional or national level should be done so with extreme caution, due to the unpredictable and volatile nature of education across the last two to three years in the United Kingdom.
We are also delighted to say that Sixth form students obtained an average grade C= in their A levels (2024 National C) and an average grade Distinction- in their Applied General (BTEC) subjects (2024 National Merit+).
Destinations of students included English Language at Edinburgh University, Medicine at Liverpool, places at Russell Group universities and various apprenticeships. In fact, 33% of our students going to University secured a place at a Russell Group university.
Acting Headteacher Craig Bailey is very happy with these results, and knows there is more to come. It confirms Ofsted judgements that this is a good school. Students are taught by specialist staff in a school where the behaviour is exceptional and lessons support personal development and independent thinking. Staff and students work in specialist rooms and the school has recently been extended to accommodate the rising numbers of students choosing to study here.

Notes
1 This shows how much progress students made to the end of KS4 compared to other students with similar results at KS2 in 8 subjects including English, Maths, 3 EBacc subjects and 3 other approved qualifications.
2 This score is based on the grades obtained by students in 8 subjects including English, Maths, 3 EBacc subjects and 3 other approved qualifications.
3 Most GCSE subjects are graded 1 (low) to 9 (high). This figure is the % of the year group obtaining a standard pass (Grade 4 equivalent to legacy grade C) or a strong pass (Grade 5 or better) in both English and in Maths.
4 A student is considered to have entered for the English baccalaureate if they have entered English, maths, at least two sciences, a language and either history or geography. Our policy allows students a free choice over whether to study the EBacc route.
5 This is the average point score for all students across the 6 EBacc subjects irrespective of whether they studied them. A student who did not study say history or geography gets a score of 0 points included in the average.
6 This is the % of the 2022-23 year group who continued in education, apprenticeship or employment for at least 2 terms after key stage 4.
