Hastings High School
Hinckley, LE10 2QE · Leicestershire · secondary school
9th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 747 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 | 52.5 · 69 | 30% | 2.08 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.4 · 79 | 25% | 1.97 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.5 · 64 | 10% | 0.64 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. In 2024/25, 52.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.4 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4 out of 10 among them, against 7.2 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 859 pupils in a capacity of 800, meaning it is over capacity by 59. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 59 places? What support is available for pupils who are not meeting the national progress benchmarks? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a student body significantly larger than its designated size?
