About WQE and Regent College Group

WQE and Regent College Group, a large state sixth-form college in Leicester, serves students aged 16 to 99 and its headline academic metrics sit notably below the local authority average for secondary schools. The college’s Progress 8 score, which measures how much students improve between the end of Key Stage 4 and their A-levels, is -0.28. That places it well behind the Leicester LA average Progress 8 of 0.12, meaning the typical student here makes less academic progress than peers at other state secondaries in the area. The college’s progress banding is officially rated ‘Below average’, and its value-added confidence interval runs from -0.31 to -0.24, confirming the underperformance is statistically significant. For context, the top-performing local schools — Madani Girls’ School, Rushey Mead Academy and Soar Valley College — all post positive Progress 8 scores above 0.7, making the gap between WQE and its strongest neighbours quite stark.
