Solihull School

In modern education, parents often look at the headline scores of examination results in a school. The results at Solihull are amongst the very best in the Midlands. That said, teachers and headteachers are sometimes even more motivated by results in terms of VALUE-ADDED. This is a measure of the educational progress made by each child as an individual. The value-added at Solihull is exceptional.

We use a system which compares the actual GCSE results of every child in the Sixth Form at Solihull School with the results of every other young person taking GCSEs around the whole country. Two years later, the A Level results of these same young people are compared again, and they reveal that Sixth Formers at Solihull School make more progress than at 95% of schools and colleges nationally.

The reason that this is important for parents too is that your child is much more than a statistic in the headline figures. What matters to many parents is the individual progress that their child will make from his or her starting point. This matters to the teachers at Solihull too, and we are proud to be in the TOP 5% of schools in terms of value-added, because it means that each young person is achieving the very highest results for them personally.
