Littleover Community School
Derby, DE23 4BZ · Derby · secondary school
2nd of 16 secondary schools in Derby we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.1/10 against 880 of them, against 8.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 58.4 · 80 | 30% | 2.39 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.46 · 82 | 25% | 2.05 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 52.7 · 80 | 10% | 0.80 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022-12. In 2024/25, 58.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 52.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.46 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.1 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. There are 1828 pupils in a school with 1801 places, meaning it is over capacity by 27. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who need to improve their Progress 8 scores? How recent is the Ofsted inspection report available to parents?
