Ibstock School
Ibstock, LE67 6NE · Leicestershire · secondary school
37th 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 924 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 38.0 · 35 | 46% | 1.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.61 · 11 | 38% | 0.44 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 41.5 · 28 | 15% | 0.42 |
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, 38.0% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 41.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.61 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 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Ashby Arts festival.
Getting in. The school has 740 pupils in a capacity of 725, meaning it is over capacity by 15. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With results below the national median, how does the school support pupils who are not meeting expected progress? Since the school is over capacity, what is the current waitlist status for new admissions? How does the curriculum prepare students for the specific challenges of the local job market?
