The Robert Smyth Academy

School overview

The Robert Smyth Academy is a secondary school serving Market Harborough, Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. It has 1,277 pupils aged 11 to 19 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 53.0 — above the national average (national average: 46). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 19% of secondary schools in England.

63% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 73% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths.

The Robert Smyth Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
