About North Leamington School

North Leamington School has been rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent inspection, and the school’s academic performance is well above the local average. The most telling metric is its Progress 8 score of 0. 47, which places it in the top 25% of schools nationally and ranks it second out of six schools in the Warwick local authority area. This score means that, on average, pupils at North Leamington achieve nearly half a grade more per subject than students with similar starting points across England. In the West Midlands region, the school sits 47th out of 371 schools, comfortably in the top 13%. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 53. 6 and a strong basics measure of 77. 7% for grade 4 or above in English and maths further underline solid academic foundations.
