Leek High School
Leek, ST13 6EU · Staffordshire · secondary school
54th of 56 secondary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 70 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 0.3/10 among them, against 0.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 26.0 · 10 | 30% | 0.32 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.1 · 2 | 25% | 0.04 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 38.1 · 14 | 10% | 0.14 |
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, 26.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 38.1, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.1 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3 out of 10 among them, against 0.8 out of 10 nationally. Ofsted rated the school Requires improvement in July 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join quizzes, cooking, pool, darts, football, basketball, multi gym, netball, trampolining, badminton, rugby, and rounders, plus instrumental tuition. Trips include Barcelona, Berlin, New York, and Paris.
Getting in. The school has 253 pupils in a capacity of 665, leaving 412 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 8 scores? What specific actions are being taken to address the 2024 Ofsted findings? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teaching time?
