Teaching & academics

Recent results place the school below national benchmarks: its average Attainment 8 score is 39.6, against a national figure of 46.9, and 23% of pupils achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. These figures suggest that academic outcomes are an area families will want to explore closely during visits. The small cohort does, however, allow for individual attention that headline numbers cannot capture.
