South Charnwood High School
Markfield, LE67 9TB · Leicestershire · secondary school
22nd 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 802 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 43.1 · 48 | 30% | 1.45 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.02 · 52 | 25% | 1.30 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.5 · 54 | 10% | 0.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 43.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.02 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Pupil Voice club, participate in football, netball, table-tennis, basketball, tennis, athletics, cross-country, and badminton, and take part in concerts and musicals.
Getting in. The school has 867 pupils in a capacity of 870, leaving 3 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 in raising their attainment to match the national median? What specific support is available for students who need to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the school manage admissions when there are only 3 places remaining?
