Loughborough, LE12 8DY · Leicestershire · secondary school

Mixed Secondary Church of England
5.1/10 Broadly average

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 936 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 45.5 · 54 46% 2.51

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, 45.5% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.0, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.03 in 2023/24, indicating pupils performed slightly below those with similar starting points nationally. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Worship Group, and House Activities. Sports include rock climbing, archery, and physical training. Arts opportunities feature a Sixth Form cake decorating competition and a World Book Day poster competition. Trips include visits to Munich, Sorrento, Whitechapel, and the Houses of Parliament, alongside a theatre trip and university visits.

Getting in. The school has 1506 pupils in a capacity of 1522, leaving 16 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the national progress average? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the school manage entry when only 16 places remain?
