Lawrence Sheriff School
Rugby, CV21 3AG · Warwickshire · Grammar school
3rd of 36 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.3/10 against 441 of them, against 9.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 94 | 34% | 3.21 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 96.0 · 97 | 30% | 2.96 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.89 · 96 | 25% | 2.43 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 75.1 · 98 | 10% | 0.99 |
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, 96.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 75.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.89 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Chess Club and study GCSE Music.
Getting in. The school has 1201 pupils in a school with 900 places, meaning it is over capacity by 301. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status? What specific support is available for pupils who need to catch up in English or maths? How does the school ensure that the high attainment figures are maintained across all year groups?
