Thomas Estley Community College
Leicester, LE9 6PT · Leicestershire · secondary school
23rd 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 860 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 | 44.1 · 50 | 46% | 2.33 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.05 · 46 | 38% | 1.78 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.0 · 51 | 15% | 0.79 |
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, 44.1% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.05 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the drama club, orchestra, strings, or jazz band. The school organises foreign and British residentials, ski and sports trips, curriculum visits, fieldwork, and sports fixtures. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 891 pupils in a capacity of 900, leaving 9 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club operate for students with early morning commitments?
