Iveshead School
Loughborough, LE12 9DB · Leicestershire · secondary school
30th 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 923 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 41.1 · 43 | 46% | 1.98 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.37 · 23 | 38% | 0.87 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.7 · 38 | 15% | 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, 41.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally similar peers. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 1000 pupils in a capacity of 1400, leaving 400 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 close the gap shown in the Progress 8 score? What specific activities or trips are available to students this term? How does the current class size impact individual attention for new arrivals?
