Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
5.5/10 Broadly average

9th 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 783 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023. In 2024/25, 43.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.17 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 5.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access trips to the Pioneer Centre, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, and exchange visits to France, French battlefields, Freiburg, Seville, and Morocco.

Getting in. The school has 886 pupils in a capacity of 875, meaning it is over capacity by 11. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap between their progress and the national median? How are the French exchange trips funded for families who may not be able to afford them?
