Coleridge Community College
Cambridge, CB1 3RJ · Cambridgeshire · secondary school
11th of 34 secondary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 35 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 — 9.4/10 against 569 of them, against 8.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 66.4 · 88 | 30% | 2.65 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.23 · 67 | 25% | 1.68 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.1 · 85 | 10% | 0.85 |
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, inspected in 2025-01. In 2024/25, 66.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.23 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. There are 571 pupils in a school with 600 places, leaving 29 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage entry when demand exceeds the 29 remaining places? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on their progress? How does the school maintain its Good rating while operating near capacity?
