Teaching & academics
Around 12% of pupils receive SEN support, and the school's broad GCSE offering spans the three separate sciences, two modern languages in French and Spanish, and a creative strand taking in Art & Design, Design & Technology and Music. It is worth noting the published headline figures sit well below national averages: an Attainment 8 score of 26 against a national 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Parents will want to discuss these results, and how individual progress is supported, directly with the school.
