Studley High School

School overview

Studley High School is a secondary school serving Studley, Warwickshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 829 pupils aged 11 to 16 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Studley High School 'Outstanding'. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 45.9, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That is down 5.8 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

39% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 67% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Competition for places is real here - 88% of first-choice applicants were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026 (163 first choices for 155 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.99 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 95% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 7.6%. There are about 15.7 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
