Teaching & academics
The school's published outcomes sit well below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 7.8 against a national average of 46.9, and 9% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. Figures of this kind, in a school of this size, often reflect a particular intake and approach rather than a standard mainstream cohort, and parents are encouraged to discuss directly how progress is supported. A small roll allows teaching to be tailored to each pupil.

The last word
A very small independent school whose results sit far below national averages; visiting in person and asking how it suits a particular child will matter more here than any single statistic.
