Fairer School Index

The Fairer School Index seeks to provide a more accurate ranking of schools by not simply taking Progress 8 as an absolute measure, rather it also considers factors such as FSM, EAL, SEND, gender, ethnicity, postcode, etc.  In the latest data published last week, The Marvell College has moved up 1214 places in the national rankings placing us around the top 25% of schools nationally, 3rd in Hull, and 6th in Hull & The East Riding.  The Marvell College is the third highest rising school in Yorkshire and the Humber. 

  1. Oasis Academy Wintringham, North East Lincolnshire (1437) - up 1256 places
  2. Outwood Academy Carlton, Barnsley (971) - up 1235 places
  3. The Marvell College, Kingston upon Hull (854) - up 1214 places

When asked for comment, our Headteacher, Mr Matthews said:

“The Marvell College and its staff are proud to work on behalf of, and to represent, everyone in their community and are very pleased that research is being conducted that recognises not just the hard work we, and many other schools in our local area, do to support young people, but also the inequalities within the current accountability systems.  At The Marvell College we pride ourselves on our inclusive approach to education and on the high-quality support pupils receive here helping them to be “as good as anyone, anywhere”.”

We know all members of our school and HCAT community will share our pride in this recognition of the hard work, ambition, respect and courage shown by all our pupils and staff.
