Check the area around this school
15th of 20 secondary schools in Leicester we can score, 21 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.6/10 against 713 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 45.5 · 51 | 46% | 2.36 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.13 · 40 | 38% | 1.54 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 50.3 · 71 | 15% | 1.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
