About Moat Community College

Moat Community College in Leicester holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Progress 8 score of 0.19, which places it comfortably above the local authority average of 0.12. This means that, on average, pupils at Moat achieve nearly a fifth of a grade more per subject than students with similar starting points nationally. The school ranks 12th out of 20 secondary schools in Leicester on this measure, and 80th out of 273 in the East Midlands region. While the Progress 8 score is positive overall, the breakdown shows some variation: pupils perform particularly well in English (0.26) and open subjects (0.28), but maths sits slightly below the national average at -0.09. The Attainment 8 score of 47 indicates that the typical pupil leaves with just under a grade 5 per subject across eight GCSEs.
