Ribston Hall High School
Gloucester, GL1 5LE · Gloucestershire · Grammar school
8th 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 379 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 8.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 84 | 35% | 2.96 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 90.5 · 96 | 30% | 2.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.24 · 68 | 25% | 1.70 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 67.7 · 96 | 10% | 0.96 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Puzzle Club, Eco Committee, and Science Club. Sports options cover Football, Hockey, and Rugby. Arts and music activities include Concert Choir, Orchestra, and Rock Group. Trips visit Claviere, the Jurassic Coastline, and the British Film Institute.
Getting in. The school has 906 pupils in a capacity of 1000, leaving 94 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the lower quartile of the similar-intake comparison? What specific support is available for students who need extra help with maths? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a fairly full cohort?
