Teaching & academics

Published outcomes are markedly below the national picture: the average Attainment 8 score is 2.1 against a national average of 46.9, and the proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is recorded at 0% against a national average of 47%. Figures of this kind, taken alongside the school's very small roll, suggest a setting whose work is not best measured by standard headline metrics alone. Prospective families are encouraged to ask directly about how progress is supported and assessed.
