Luton, LU1 5PP · Luton · secondary school
12th of 13 secondary schools in Luton we can score. 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 — 2.7/10 against 486 of them, against 1.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 20.7 · 4 | 46% | 0.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.21 · 34 | 38% | 1.31 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 35.9 · 8 | 15% | 0.12 |
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, 20.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 35.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.21 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Debate Mate & Debating Team, Brilliant Club, Rocket Club, Performing Arts Club, Dance Club, Anime Club, Choir Club, or Cooking Club. They also participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, a Dragon’s Den experience, and Cultural Days.
Getting in. The school has 1471 pupils in a capacity of 1450, meaning it is over capacity by 21. 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 with 21 extra pupils? What specific support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 score is below the national baseline? How are the 8 named clubs scheduled to ensure they do not conflict with core lessons?
