The City of Leicester College
Leicester, LE5 6LN · Leicester · secondary school
6th of 19 secondary schools in Leicester we can score, 21 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.6/10 against 631 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 86 | 35% | 2.99 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 52.2 · 69 | 30% | 2.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.29 · 72 | 25% | 1.80 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.1 · 67 | 10% | 0.67 |
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 was inspected in 2026-05 and rated Requires improvement. In 2024/25, 52.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.29 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dance, Performing Arts, Science, STEAM, Anime, Horrible Histories, Musical Theatre, and Lego League clubs. Sports include basketball, football, badminton, cricket, dodgeball, netball, and table tennis. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1569 pupils in a school with 1614 places, leaving 45 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 to maintain progress given the recent inspection rating? What specific steps are taken to secure a place for new students given the limited availability? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for students interested in the named clubs?
