Thomas Keble School

Stroud, GL6 7DY · Gloucestershire · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
6.2/10 Broadly average

19th of 39 secondary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 41 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 829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3/10 among them, against 6.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 52.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 47.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.23 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3 out of 10 among them, against 6.7 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 722 pupils in a capacity of 710, meaning it is over capacity by 12. 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? What support is available for pupils who need to close the gap with the national median? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a competitive intake?
