Beauchamp City Sixth Form

About Beauchamp City Sixth Form

Beauchamp City Sixth Form holds an Ofsted rating that places it among the strongest state sixth forms in Leicester, with its most recent inspection confirming a Good overall grade. The single most telling academic metric is its A-level value-added score of 0.13, which is above average and sits just above the local authority average of 0.12. This means students here typically make slightly better progress than peers at similar schools across Leicester. With 479 pupils taking A-levels in the 2023/24 academic year, the school achieved an average points per entry of 38.47, equivalent to a solid B grade. The proportion of entries achieving AAB or higher in at least two facilitating subjects was 29.1 per cent, a figure that reflects strong performance in the most academically demanding qualifications. The best three A-levels averaged a B- grade, and the overall progress banding is rated as above average, confirming that the school consistently pushes its students beyond expected outcomes.

The school’s academic profile is reinforced by a curriculum that clearly works well for its 16-19 cohort. The points per entry grade of B suggests that the majority of students leave with strong, university-ready results. While the data doesn’t include a Progress 8 score (this metric applies to schools with GCSE cohorts), the value-added measure for A-levels is the key indicator here, and it paints a positive picture. Compared with other Leicester sixth forms, Beauchamp City sits in a competitive group: the top-performing local peers include Madani Girls’ School and Rushey Mead Academy, but Beauchamp’s value-added score is still above the LA average. The school’s capacity of 1,000 is nearly full at 993 pupils, indicating strong local demand. For families prioritising academic progress at sixth-form level, this school delivers results that are reliably above the norm for the area.

Beyond the classroom, Beauchamp City offers a wide range of facilities that support both academic and personal development. These include a gymnasium, swimming pool, music rooms, an ICT suite, sports hall, sixth form centre, astro turf, playing fields, and even a chapel. Sports on offer include athletics, rowing, hockey, netball, and martial arts, while clubs range from the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Model United Nations to Young Enterprise, debate, and a newspaper. The school also provides extensive SEND support, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disabilities, and autistic spectrum disorder. This breadth of provision makes it a practical choice for families who want a large, well-resourced sixth form with strong academic outcomes and genuine inclusivity. It is not a boarding school, and it does not offer nursery provision, so it is squarely aimed at post-16 students.
