Leicestershire does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Year 7 place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Ivanhoe School. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

About Ivanhoe School
Ivanhoe School is a secondary school in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 799 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 38.1, below the national average of 46. That is down 2.5 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.
32% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. 54% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 94% of the families who made Ivanhoe School 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. Overall pupil absence was 10.4%. There are about 17.2 pupils per teacher. Ivanhoe School 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.
