About Henley Bank High School

Henley Bank High School sits within Gloucestershire local authority and ranks second among the six secondary schools in the Tewkesbury area, placing it in the top third locally. Its Progress 8 score of 0. 64 puts it well above the national average and comfortably ahead of the Gloucestershire LA average of 0. 19. The school’s closest performing peers in the wider county include Pate's Grammar School, Churchdown School and Denmark Road High School, though these are grammar or heavily oversubscribed schools with different admissions criteria. Henley Bank is a mixed, non-denominational state secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, with a current roll of 876 students against a capacity of 850, meaning it is operating slightly above its official limit. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32. 3 per cent, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the school’s inclusive intake.
