Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
1.7/10 Well below average

35th of 37 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.1/10 against 495 of them, against 2.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Ofsted 5 40% 0.22
Attainment 8 2025/26 40.6 · 22 15% 0.34

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
