Waseley Hills High School
Birmingham, B45 9EL · Worcestershire · secondary school
23rd of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.1/10 against 844 of them, against 3.6/10 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 | 39.8 · 40 | 46% | 1.84 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.18 · 36 | 38% | 1.39 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.5 · 23 | 15% | 0.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.18 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally similar peers. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Young Enterprise and Charity Work clubs, alongside team building trips, visits to national museums and galleries, geography and history field trips, and trips to universities and workplaces.
Getting in. The school has 741 pupils in a capacity of 868 places, leaving 127 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
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 for university places? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining mid-year?
