The Department for Education has released new data showing the progress of schools across the country.

Each school is given a score showing how much progress pupils at that school have made between the end of key stage two and the end of key stage four, compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage two.

A score of over zero means that pupils made more progress, on average, whereas a score below zero means pupils made less progress, on average.

According to the DfE, a negative progress score does not mean that pupils made no progress, or that the school has failed, but rather it means pupils in the school made less progress than other pupils across England with similar results at the end of key stage two.

We have compiled a list of secondary schools in Lewisham alongside their results, revealing the schools where pupils made more progress against the national average.
