Humphrey Perkins School
Loughborough, LE12 8JU · Leicestershire · secondary school
24th 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 912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.5 · 71 | 46% | 3.29 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.55 · 14 | 38% | 0.53 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.6 · 65 | 15% | 0.99 |
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, 53.5% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.55 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse 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 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 4.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and take peripatetic instrument lessons. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 844 pupils in a capacity of 1106, leaving 262 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their progress scores, which are currently below the national benchmark? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school structure classes to make effective use of the current spare capacity?
