Brooke House College

Market Harborough, Leicestershire, East Midlands · LE16 7AU

Brooke House College is a small independent school in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, taking boarders and day pupils from age 11 through to 19. Its character is shaped by the sixth form, where 123 pupils outnumber the 105 on the main roll, suggesting a school that draws students particularly for the later stages of education. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school "sound" with "good" personal development, though it should be noted that the inspectorate found compliance standards were not met. Families will want to ask directly about the steps being taken to address that finding.

Teaching & academics

The published GCSE figures are strikingly low: an Attainment 8 score of 9.0 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. These results sit well below typical benchmarks and warrant careful questions for any family considering the main school years. At A-level, Mathematics is among the popular choices, while geography, English language and PE/sports studies feature at GCSE.

The last word
