View the most recent OFSTED report: John Masefield High School OFSTED Inspection November 2022
The JMHS OFSTED page can be viewed here
The Department for Education (DfE) performance data for the school can be viewed here
The government advise that school performance data should be considered alongside a range of other information about the school, which could include looking at school websites, reading Ofsted reports, and speaking to the school directly. Conclusions should not be drawn on a single piece of data alone. Pupils included in this performance data will have experienced some disruption due to Covid-19 earlier in their schooling, which will have affected individual pupils and schools differently.
Key Stage 4 Performance data
2025
These are the results for pupils who completed key stage 4 in the summer of 2025.

This is the percentage of pupils who achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs.

Schools get a score based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications.
Progress 8 score: It is not possible to calculate Progress 8 scores for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26. This is because there is no Key Stage 2 assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption.
