Leventhorpe School is a mixed, 11-19 secondary school and sixth form in the town of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.[1] The school became an academy in August 2011, and is part of the Rivers Multi-Academy Trust.[1][2]

As of 2018, the school's last inspection was in 2012 when it was judged Outstanding in each of the five categories.[3]

Leventhorpe is a partner in the Alban Teaching School Alliance, and the lead school for School Centred Initial Teacher Training within the Bishop’s Stortford Educational Trust. The school hosts placements for trainees and is a partner school with the University of Cambridge for the Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Leventhorpe has been awarded National Support School Status in recognition of the school to school support it provides and the current Headteacher is a National Leader of Education.

In 2017, the school's Progress 8 score at GCSE was -0.08, in line with the England average, and the Attainment 8 score was 53 points, above the England and Hertfordshire averages.[1] In 2018, GCSE results "exceed[ed] national targets".[4]

The average grade at A level in 2018 was C, just below the England and Hertfordshire averages of C+. Absence and persistent absence were better than the England average for 2016/17.[1]
