Welland Park Academy

School overview

Welland Park Academy is a secondary school serving Market Harborough, Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 987 pupils aged 11 to 16 on roll. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 53.2, above the national average of 46. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 19% of secondary schools in England.

66% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 80% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 98% of the families who made Welland Park Academy their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. After Year 11, 93% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 6.7%. There are about 19.7 pupils per teacher. Welland Park 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.
