Holmer Green Senior School
High Wycombe, HP15 6SP · Buckinghamshire · secondary school
20th of 36 secondary schools in Buckinghamshire we can score, 37 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 568 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 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 | 18 | 35% | 0.62 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.2 · 71 | 30% | 2.13 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.4 · 79 | 25% | 1.97 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.1 · 58 | 10% | 0.58 |
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, 53.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.1, 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the FTC Robot club, debating, and various GCSE subject clubs. Sports include netball, football, and badminton, while arts options feature a choir and two rock bands. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1240 pupils in a building with 878 places, meaning it is over capacity by 362. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status? What specific support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club integrate with the academic curriculum?
