South Charnwood is a high-achieving Leicestershire Secondary School which formerly admitted pupils aged 10 – 14. From September 2014, it started to change its age range to 11-16 by admitting Year 10 pupils for the first time. The school was thoroughly prepared for this development and approached this challenge with confidence and excitement. In September 2015, the change to 11-16 was complete and in 2016 the school had Year 11 pupils for the first time. The school delivered impressive GCSE results that year which showed excellent attainment and progress. The overall Progress 8 score was +0.07. In 2017 the GCSE results were even better and the overall Progress 8 score was +0.17. In 2018 results improved again and the Progress 8 score was +0.69. Progress for last year (2019) showed superb results again with a Progress 8 score of +0.79. English results were particularly impressive this year with a Progress 8 score of +1.13.

Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, Centre Assessed Grades replaced GCSE exams in 2020 and results were just as impressive as the previous year’s results. In 2021, Teacher assessed Grades (TAGs) were used and again pupil achievement was extremely high.

The school is situated in the pleasant rural area of North West Leicestershire on the edge of Charnwood Forest. The school sits in a beautiful 22-acre site. In 2019 the Football Foundation funded the construction of a 3G pitch which is extensively used by the local community.

The nearest community is Thornton village, about 1 mile away. At roughly the same distance is Junction 22 of the M1, while Coalville is 5 miles away.

The school employs approximately 45 teaching staff along with 14 full or part time Learning Support Assistants and Teaching Assistants. There are 11 clerical and technical staff members including the Business Manager who is part of the Senior Leadership Team.

The well-motivated staff team at the school is a mixture of youth and experience ranging from recently qualified teachers to those who have been here longer than they care to remember! The middle leaders, including the Seconds in Department, are a pro-active and dynamic group who contribute greatly to the success of the school.

Our most recent inspection was in June 2019 and the report described South Charnwood High School as a ‘Good school’ and described both the Quality of teaching, learning and assessment and the Outcomes our pupils achieve as ‘Outstanding.’
