Higham Lane School and Sixth Form College is a heavily over-subscribed, 11-18, comprehensive academy with just under 1500 students, set on an attractive site on the Warwickshire-Leicestershire border, easily accessible due to excellent road, train and bus connections. The school and sixth form college forms part of the Central England Academy Trust and schools within our trust work closely together, bringing many benefits to both students and staff.
We are delighted that our most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025 confirmed that Higham Lane School has taken effective action to maintain the high standards identified in our previous Outstanding inspection. Inspectors praised our warm, respectful and aspirational school culture, where pupils thrive both academically and personally. They highlighted our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum, exceptional sixth-form provision, and the strong outcomes achieved by our students. The report commended our students’ excellent behaviour, attendance, and engagement, as well as the inclusive support we provide for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND. Our commitment to personal development was also recognised, with a wide range of enrichment opportunities helping to shape confident, compassionate young people. With an Achievement 8 score of 52.05 in 2025, this is significantly above the national average of 45.9 from 2024. Higham Lane remains one of the highest-achieving non-selective comprehensive schools in Warwickshire. We are also proud to hold World Class Schools status, awarded in July 2021, reflecting our continued drive for excellence in all areas of school life.
We are also delighted to have achieved equally as impressive A level results in our Sixth Form with 30.7% A*-A and 61.5% A*-B, an average grade of B- and a Value Added score of +0.27 (2024), making Higham Lane one of the top performing Sixth Forms in Warwickshire. We are excited by the opportunities which our recent merger with the Central England Academy Trust will bring us and are also delighted that the Department for Education has given the Trust permission to open a new secondary Free School, Higham Lane North Academy, opening in 2025 and this is already providing exciting opportunities for staff development, recruitment and retention.
Our school has a strong ethos based on mutual respect between students and staff and very clear expectations regarding students’ effort and behaviour. We enjoy an excellent reputation with parents/carers and are always over-subscribed. You will find a happy, caring and purposeful environment at Higham Lane. Students get on exceptionally well, both with each other and with our staff, who take pride in working here. Our students are encouraged to do their very best in every aspect of their lives and to reach the highest standards, irrespective of their ability. We encourage them to “Be the best you can be”, by working hard, being kind and taking responsibility.
At Higham Lane, our staff are our most precious resource. We are committed to offering you:
excellent continuous professional development,
reduced workload,
behaviour for learning that empowers teachers to teach and students to learn,
a range of imaginative approaches to ensure staff wellbeing,
opportunities to work across the MAT in a successful and growing trust.
