Higham Lane is a large, 11-18 comprehensive academy with Aspiring Teaching School status, set on an attractive site on the Warwickshire-Leicestershire border, easily accessible due to excellent road, rail and bus connections. Achievement in all its forms: artistic, academic, social, cultural, sporting and intellectual is equally valued in our diverse five year, knowledge-rich curriculum. The School was judged as Outstanding by Ofsted in May 2019. Results for our Year 11 students in 2019 maintained our tradition of being the highest performing school within the town and amongst the highest non-selective school in the county. Furthermore our 2019 results placed the school within the top 20% of schools nationally. We were delighted that the school achieved 82% for the percentage of students achieving 9-4 in both English and Maths. Progress was impressive, with a Progress 8 score of 0.37 – over 1/3rd of a grade better progress than students of a similar ability nationally. The percentage of students achieving GCSE grades 9-4 in English at 89% was among the highest in the county. The percentage for Maths was equally strong too at 87%. Over a third of our students studying English achieved GCSE grades 9-7 – 40%, with nearly a quarter studying both English and Maths achieved GCSE grades 9-7 – 23%. We are also delighted to have achieved impressive A level results in our high-performing Sixth Form. Our progress figures indicate that our teaching and learning and student behaviour and engagement are excellent!
