Nicholas Chamberlaine School
Bedworth, CV12 9EA · Warwickshire · secondary school
32nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.4/10 against 635 of them, against 1.1/10 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 | 24.6 · 9 | 30% | 0.26 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.51 · 15 | 25% | 0.39 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 36.9 · 10 | 10% | 0.10 |
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 (inspected 2024-05). In 2024/25, 24.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 36.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.51 in 2023/24, meaning pupils made less progress than those starting from similar points nationally. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Board and Card Games, Media Club, Diamond Art Club, Young Writers Challenge, Dungeons and Dragons, Chinese Culture & Language Club, Fine Art Club, and Warhammer Club. Sports include Basketball, Table Tennis, Netball, Male Football, Female Football, and Curling. Arts and music activities feature LAMDA accredited Public Speaking, Cross-Stitch Club, Friendship Craft Club, Shakespeare Schools Festival, Griffin Arts Festival, and the School Show. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. There are 1427 pupils in a school with 1593 places, leaving 166 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the attainment gap with the national median?
