Hagley Catholic High School
Hagley, DY8 2XL · Worcestershire · secondary school
7th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9/10 among them, against 7.1/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 52.2 · 69 | 30% | 2.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.3 · 73 | 25% | 1.82 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.3 · 72 | 10% | 0.72 |
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, 52.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.3, against a national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.9 out of 10 among them, against 7.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Warhammer, Eco Warriors, SVP, Chess, and STEM clubs, or participate in Dance. Sports include skiing in Austria, outdoor pursuits at Kinver Edge, and paintballing. Arts features a school musical, dance show, and contemporary worship music. Trips range from Sicily for GCSE Geographers to residential retreats at The Briars and Oaker Wood. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1113 pupils in a capacity of 1190, leaving 77 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to maintain progress given the lower attainment compared to similar-intake schools? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the academic curriculum?
