Cannock Chase High School
Cannock, WS11 1JT · Staffordshire · secondary school
27th of 56 secondary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 70 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 — 4.0/10 against 661 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 37.6 · 34 | 30% | 1.01 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.38 · 22 | 25% | 0.55 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.1 · 30 | 10% | 0.30 |
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 2023-09. In 2024/25, 37.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.38 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did 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 (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Homework Club, Code Club, and the School Orchestra.
Getting in. There are 1109 pupils in a school with 1818 places, leaving 709 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 need extra help with their homework outside of the Homework Club? What specific music opportunities are available for students who do not play in the School Orchestra? How does the school ensure that the smaller class sizes resulting from spare places are used to provide more individual attention?
