About Iveshead School

Iveshead School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.37 sits well below the Leicestershire local authority average of -0.1, placing it in the bottom half of state secondaries in the county. Within Charnwood specifically, the school ranks 6th out of 9 schools on this measure, and nationally it falls in the bottom 25% of all schools. The picture is mixed when you dig into the breakdown: maths Progress 8 is close to the national average at -0.06, but English and open subjects are notably weaker at -0.52 and -0.67 respectively. The EBacc entry rate is high at 82.4%, though only 19.5% of pupils achieved the full EBacc at grade 5 or above. Attainment 8 sits at 43.2, and 42.8% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. For a school that Ofsted rated Good in its most recent inspection, these results suggest solid provision in some areas but clear room for improvement in others.
