Cleeve School
Cheltenham, GL52 8AE · Gloucestershire · secondary school
14th of 39 secondary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 41 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.9/10 against 916 of them, against 6.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 2024/25 | 52.7 · 70 | 46% | 3.24 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.22 · 66 | 38% | 2.55 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.9 · 70 | 15% | 1.08 |
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. In 2024/25, 52.7% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.22 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.9 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Voice Collective and Duke of Edinburgh, play rugby, netball, and football, and perform in productions like *Macbeth* and *A Christmas Carol*. Trips include PGL Residential, skiing, Iceland, and the Battlefields.
Getting in. The school has 1848 pupils in a capacity of 1575, meaning it is over capacity by 273. 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 273 pupils over capacity? What support is available for pupils who need extra help with their studies? How do you ensure all students have access to the wide range of trips and clubs offered?
