About South Charnwood High School

South Charnwood High School, a mixed state secondary in Leicestershire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded visit in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The single most informative exam metric for this 11-16 school is its Progress 8 score of 0.02, which places it in the 'Average' banding nationally. This score means that, on average, pupils achieve broadly in line with expectations compared to other students across England with similar starting points. It is worth noting that the school's Progress 8 score sits above the Leicestershire local authority average of -0.1, indicating that pupils here make slightly stronger progress than their peers across the wider county. The school's Attainment 8 score of 50.7 further supports this picture of solid academic performance.
