About Lealands High School

Lealands High School sits just below the Luton local authority average for Progress 8, with a score of -0.04 compared to the LA average of 0.03. That places it 7th out of 11 secondary schools in Luton, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. What’s more interesting is the variation within those results: pupils’ progress in English is a strong positive at +0.37, well above the local norm, while maths drags the other way at -0.21. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 43.4 and its EBacc average point score of 3.79 are both respectable for a non-selective state school, and 66.2% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. Nationally, Lealands ranks in the 51st percentile for Progress 8, meaning it performs almost exactly in line with the average school across England.
