Stroud High School
Stroud, GL5 4HF · Gloucestershire · Grammar school
2nd 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 146 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5/10 among them, against 9.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 97.5 · 98 | 30% | 2.95 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.85 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 76.9 · 99 | 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 97.5% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 76.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.85 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5 out of 10 among them, against 9.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Duke of Edinburgh Awards, Combined Cadet Force, Chess, and History Society. Sports include netball, hockey, and cross country. Arts offer musical theatre, dance, and life drawing. Trips include a Year 7 residential and an Austria ski trip.
Getting in. The school has 1106 pupils in a capacity of 835, exceeding it by 271. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school significantly over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applicants? How does the curriculum support pupils who need additional help to maintain high attainment? What support is available for pupils who do not attend a breakfast club?
