St Augustine's Catholic High School

Redditch, B97 5LX · Worcestershire · secondary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary Roman Catholic
7.5/10 Above average

1st of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 656 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 6.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 46.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.35 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally starting from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3 out of 10 among them, against 6.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join science club, chess, and cheer-leading, with sports including fitness and trampolining. Trips range from ski holidays and Thorpe Park to a Rome RE trip and Les Miserables in London. An after-school club is available.

Getting in. The school has 966 pupils in a capacity of 1005, leaving 39 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 need to catch up on progress? What specific support is available for students aiming for top grades in English and maths? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its admissions process?
