Teaching & academics

The published results sit well below national benchmarks: an average Attainment 8 score of 2.0 against a national figure of 46.9, and no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in both English and Maths, compared with a national average of 47%. Parents will want to discuss these figures directly with the school, alongside how it supports individual pupils and what cohort or circumstances lie behind the headline numbers.

The last word

A very small independent option in Gillingham with entry at 11; its published attainment data is markedly below national averages and warrants a close conversation with the school.
