Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Secondary
7.3/10 Above average

6th of 43 secondary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 44 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 568 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 8.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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 is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 63.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.44 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1 out of 10 among them, against 8.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the choir, rock band, debating club, Mandarin, and Japanese groups. Sports include football, rugby, and netball, alongside dance. Trips range from a D of E silver expedition to the Peak District and a Camps International trip to Borneo, to academic visits to Paris, Berlin, Sicily, and China Town in Birmingham.

Getting in. There are 2230 pupils in a school with 2106 places, meaning it is over capacity by 124. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 124 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the 2022 inspection rating reflect current teaching standards?
