About The Kimberley School
The Kimberley School is a secondary school in Nottinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 1,384 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 51.0 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 2.7 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 25% of secondary schools nationally.
50% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 80% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The Kimberley School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 249 first choices for 239 places. 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 8.1%. There are about 17.3 pupils per teacher. The Kimberley 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
