De Lisle College Loughborough Leicestershire
Loughborough, LE11 4SQ · Leicestershire · secondary school
5th of 43 secondary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 44 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 — 8.3/10 against 824 of them, against 8.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 60.0 · 82 | 30% | 2.47 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.58 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
| 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% 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 +0.58 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 (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022-11.
Getting in. The school has 1340 pupils in a capacity of 1308, meaning it is over capacity by 32. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 32 places? What specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap between their Progress 8 score and the national median? How has the Good Ofsted rating from 2022-11 influenced recent improvements?
