The Priory Belvoir Academy
Nottingham, NG13 0AX · Leicestershire · secondary school
19th 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 861 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 5.3/10 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 | 0.21 · 65 | 25% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.3 · 53 | 10% | 0.53 |
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. In 2024/25, 41.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.21 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Drama Club, Choir, Rock Bands, Dance Club, and Duke of Edinburgh. Sports include Football, Netball, Basketball, Rugby, Badminton, Rounders, Athletics, and Tennis. Arts and music offer School Plays and Instrument Lessons, with trips to Go Ape.
Getting in. The school has 693 pupils in a capacity of 650, meaning it is over capacity by 43. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school over capacity, how does the admissions process handle late applications? Since the similar-intake comparison is lower than the national figure, what specific support is provided to help pupils reach their potential? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a full house?
