Ashfield Comprehensive School
Nottingham, NG17 8HP · Nottinghamshire · secondary school
32nd of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.1/10 against 840 of them, against 5.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 16 | 35% | 0.58 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.3 · 51 | 30% | 1.53 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.08 · 44 | 25% | 1.10 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.8 · 61 | 10% | 0.61 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in January 2026. In 2024/25, 44.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.08 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join an after-school club, participate in Vocal Tuition, and attend ArtsFest.
Getting in. There are 2584 pupils in a school with 3146 places, leaving 562 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school maintain engagement for students in classes that are smaller than capacity?
