Check the area around this school
21st 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 546 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 44.6 · 49 | 30% | 1.47 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.09 · 43 | 25% | 1.08 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 48.0 · 60 | 10% | 0.60 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Lutterworth College
Overview
Lutterworth College continues to be a good school, characterised by staff who care deeply for pupils and a curriculum that is generally well planned. Pupils are proud of their school, behave well, and feel safe, with bullying described as rare. However, the report highlights inconsistencies in curriculum implementation, particularly in science, and notes that fewer pupils than expected choose academically rigorous subjects at key stage 4.
Strengths
- Staff know pupils well, ensuring learning is "well targeted" and adapting resources to meet individual needs.
- Pupils engage enthusiastically in lessons, benefiting from clear content presentation and opportunities for discussion.
- Leaders provide "rich experiences" supporting learning, including community partnerships and an extensive careers programme.
- Effective support is provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with a secure understanding of their needs.
- Sixth-form students enjoy their learning, make good progress, and play a prominent part in school life.
Areas to improve
- The science curriculum is not implemented as effectively as in other subjects; teachers must check understanding more carefully and adapt learning consistently.
- Leaders must ensure the key stage 4 curriculum is academically rigorous, supporting more pupils to choose humanities and modern foreign languages.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with up-to-date systems, well-trained staff, and appropriate checks for new staff.
