Corfe Hills School
Broadstone, BH18 9BG · Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole · secondary school
14th of 22 secondary schools in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we can score, 23 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 900 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 5.4/10 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 | 32% | 1.68 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 46.2 · 56 | 31% | 1.75 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.01 · 51 | 26% | 1.33 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.7 · 56 | 10% | 0.58 |
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, 46.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.01 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2021. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in a ski trip in 2026.
Getting in. The school has 931 pupils in a capacity of 1716 places, leaving 785 spare places. This means 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’ progress given the recent inspection date? What specific academic support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How do teachers manage class sizes to ensure individual attention in such a large school?
