Kenilworth School and Sixth Form

Kenilworth, CV8 2AL · Warwickshire · secondary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
8.9/10 Well above average

5th of 36 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 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 542 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 8.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 65.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 57.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.48 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4 out of 10 among them, against 8.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in DofE activities.

Getting in. The school has 1880 pupils in a capacity of 2200, leaving 320 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in raising their attainment to match the national median? What specific DofE expeditions are available for Year 12? How does the school manage the transition for students entering the sixth form?
