All secondary schools are awarded a Progress 8 score based on the improvement made by students there between Key Stage 2 at the end of primary school and Key Stage 4, when they sit their GCSEs and other exams. A positive score means they are making better than average progress compared with schools nationally, with a negative rating indicating the opposite.

Below are the Sheffield schools with the best Progress 8 scores based on provisional data published on October 20 this year. Some schools do not have a Progress 8 score as they have not been open long enough for this to be applicable.
