Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
4.2/10 Broadly average

12th of 22 secondary schools in Coventry 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 — 5.4/10 against 712 of them, against 3.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 40.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.8, slightly below the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.25 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally similar peers. However, narrowing the comparison to schools with similar backgrounds, it does better still (5.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the China Trip 2025 and the Spain Trip 2025.

Getting in. There are 774 pupils in a school with 890 places, leaving 116 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who start from a lower baseline to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific academic or social support is available for students who do not attend a breakfast or after-school club? How does the school ensure the China and Spain trips are accessible to all pupils?
