About Beaumont Leys School

Beaumont Leys School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.13 sits below the Leicester local authority average of 0.12, placing it 15th out of 20 secondary schools in the area. That puts it in the bottom half of the LA table, though the gap is modest — roughly a quarter of a grade per subject less than the typical Leicester pupil. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 44.6 and EBacc average point score of 3.76 reflect this middling position. Where the school really stands out, however, is in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which awarded Outstanding grades for personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The overall effectiveness was not judged on that visit, but the previous inspection in 2013 rated it Good across the board. So while the academic metrics are below the LA norm, the inspection team saw real strengths in how the school supports pupils’ character and conduct.
