Leicester, LE8 0LG · Leicestershire · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
5.6/10 Broadly average

15th 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 865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 50.3 · 66 30% 1.96

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, 50.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.01 in 2023/24, indicating pupils performed slightly below those with similar starting points nationally. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1 out of 10 among them, against 5.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 829 pupils in a capacity of 900, leaving 71 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific activities are available for students to join outside of lesson time? How does the leadership team plan to improve progress scores for the next cohort?
