About Codsall Community High School

Codsall Community High School sits within Staffordshire local authority as a 13-18 mixed state secondary, and in the smaller South Staffordshire district it ranks third out of seven schools of its type. Its Progress 8 score of 0.19 places it well above the local authority average of -0.18, though it sits behind the top-performing peers in the area: The Friary School (0.86), St John Fisher Catholic College (0.67), and Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (0.60). Nationally, the school ranks in the top 35% of all secondary schools on this measure, and within the West Midlands region it sits at the 28th percentile among 371 schools. Headteacher Simon Maxfield leads a school that is close to capacity with 1,068 pupils against a maximum of 1,098, and just under 18% of students are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the catchment's mix.
