Charnwood College (High) is a smaller than average secondary school for students aged 11-14. It federated under a single Principal and governing body with Charnwood College (Upper), which is a 14-18 school, in September 2012. The two providers operate as one school, share the same campus and have the same teaching staff. The two schools are planning to merge formally. Just over a third of students receive pupil premium funding. This is more than the national average. This additional government funding is for children looked after by the local authority and those known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs is average. The majority of students are White British with a significant proportion from Indian backgrounds. A small number of students attend alternative provision at Autism Outreach and the Loughborough Inclusion Partnership. Support is provided to the school by three National Leaders of Education from Thomas Estley Community College, Leicester; Ashmount School, Loughborough; and Trinity School, Nottingham. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics.
