The Hinckley School
Hinckley, LE10 1LE · Leicestershire · secondary school
29th 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 930 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 41.0 · 42 | 30% | 1.27 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.52 · 15 | 25% | 0.37 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.8 · 38 | 10% | 0.39 |
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 rated Good by Ofsted in 2023. In 2024/25, 41.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.52 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally similar peers. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join The Bridge Drama Society, Elite Dance Company, Choir, Duke of Edinburgh, and Rugby Academy. Sports include rugby, football, netball, table tennis, cornhole, swimming, athletics, and rounders. Arts activities feature Whole School Musicals and Community Recitals. Trips include a Netherlands Multi-Sports Tour and a GCSE Geographers Explore Naples visit.
Getting in. The school has 1135 pupils in a capacity of 1450, leaving 315 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher attainment in English and maths? How does the school utilise its significant spare capacity to maintain high teaching standards?
