About Christ The King Voluntary Academy

Christ the King Voluntary Academy sits within Nottinghamshire’s Gedling borough, a Roman Catholic secondary that ranks third among the six state secondaries in its immediate local authority area when measured by Progress 8. That puts it ahead of half its Gedling peers, though it sits behind the county’s top performers — Rushcliffe Spencer Academy, The West Bridgford School and Carlton le Willows Academy all post higher ranking scores. Across the wider Nottinghamshire local authority, which contains 46 state secondaries, Christ the King places 12th overall. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Redhill Academy, just 1.6 kilometres away. Christ the King itself has held a Good rating across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and an ungraded visit in 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management, sixth-form provision and overall effectiveness were all judged Good in the last full inspection, and the 2023 visit found no reason to change that judgement.
