Teaching & academics

GCSEs are the qualifications offered here. Headline results sit well below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 1.6 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. Against the backdrop of a high proportion of pupils on SEN support, these figures point to a school whose role and progress measures may differ markedly from those of selective or academically focused settings.
