Teaching & academics
The published GCSE figures are strikingly low: an Attainment 8 score of 9.0 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. These results sit well below typical benchmarks and warrant careful questions for any family considering the main school years. At A-level, Mathematics is among the popular choices, while geography, English language and PE/sports studies feature at GCSE.

The last word
A small boarding-and-day school with a sizeable sixth form, but the headline GCSE data and the unmet compliance finding mean prospective families should look closely and ask searching questions before committing.
