Check the area around this school
43rd of 45 secondary schools in Leeds we can score. 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 — 1.6/10 against 479 of them, against 1.1/10 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 | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 30.7 · 16 | 30% | 0.50 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.88 · 4 | 25% | 0.11 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 37.3 · 10 | 10% | 0.10 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Corpus Christi Catholic College, A Voluntary Academy
Overview
Corpus Christi Catholic College is described as a "welcoming school where pupils are safe," with parents and pupils valuing the "quality of pastoral care." However, the report states that the school’s "vision for the quality of education... is not currently realised," citing variable expectations and inconsistent teaching that prevent pupils from achieving as well as they could.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe, with most stating they have "an adult in school who they can talk to if they have concerns."
- The school has introduced a "challenging and aspirational" new key stage 3 curriculum that clearly identifies core knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported" through clear assessment systems and professional expertise.
- Staff report that leaders "support them well with their well-being," and trustees have an "accurate view of the school’s strengths."
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure all staff apply the behaviour policy "consistently" to eliminate mixed messages and address low-level disruption.
- Leaders must ensure the ambitious curriculum is "planned, sequenced and embedded consistently well across all subjects."
- Teaching must be strengthened so that pupils’ understanding is "checked systematically" to close significant knowledge gaps.
- The school must use improved tracking systems to provide "robust support to improve pupils’ attendance," particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
