We are tremendously proud of our students who have been achieving high academic results year on year. In 2025 our students achieved remarkable success, where all key areas were significantly above the National Average.

  • Top 10% of schools in England for Progress in Mathematics & English
  • Top 20% of schools in England for all subjects
  • Top 20% of Schools in England for Attainment
  • Top 9% of Schools in England for Progress in English Baccalaureate Subjects

Barnhill Community High School are delighted that their excellent outcomes have been recognised by SSAT (The Schools, Students and Teachers Network) in this year’s Educational Outcomes Awards. The award recognises that Barnhill Community High School is among the highest performing secondary schools in the country, based on 2025 performance data and information from Ofsted.

Please note: We are not able to calculate Progress 8 scores for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26. This is because there is no KS2 assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption. We are also unable to show results broken down by prior attainment.
