Formby High School – DfE Performance Tables

These revised figures tell you about performance of pupils at this school who completed key stage 4 . Most of the measures published here, in February 2026, relate to students who completed key stage 4 in the summer of 2025, with the exception of destination measures, where the cohorts reported are stated below. For more information on how we calculate performance measures please see the KS4 technical guide.

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.

Performance data should be considered alongside a range of other information about the school or college, which could include looking at school or college websites, reading Ofsted reports, and speaking to the school or college directly.
