The National CofE Academy
Nottingham, NG15 7DB · Nottinghamshire · secondary school
28th of 45 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 922 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 38.0 · 35 | 30% | 1.05 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.04 · 53 | 25% | 1.33 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.6 · 33 | 10% | 0.33 |
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, 38.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.04 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than peers nationally starting from the same point. 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 4.2 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. There are 1125 pupils in a school with 1184 places, leaving 59 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With 59 places remaining, how does the school manage entry for new students mid-year? Since the last inspection was in 2023, what changes have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school support pupils who are not meeting the national median in attainment?
