About The Queen Elizabeth Academy

The Queen Elizabeth Academy in North Warwickshire has a clear story to tell about academic improvement. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2017, awarded the school an overall rating of Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. This marked a significant step up from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most informative single exam metric is its Progress 8 score, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and GCSEs compared with pupils nationally. The school’s Progress 8 score is -0.3, meaning pupils on average achieve slightly less than expected. This places the school in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure, and it ranks 26th out of 42 similar schools in Warwickshire, where the average Progress 8 score is 0.02.
