Check the area around this school
14th 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 712 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 49.8 · 62 | 46% | 2.85 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.02 · 49 | 38% | 1.88 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 48.9 · 65 | 15% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
