Teaching & academics

The published headline results sit well below national averages, with an Attainment 8 score of 0.8 against a national figure of 46.9 and no pupils recorded at grade 5 or above in English and Maths. Figures this far from the norm often reflect a very small or unusual cohort rather than a straightforward measure of teaching, so families would do well to ask the school directly about how these numbers are arrived at. A notably high proportion of pupils receive SEN support, which points to a setting geared towards individual needs.
