Teaching & academics
The reported headline results sit well below national benchmarks: an average Attainment 8 score of 2.0 against a national figure of 46.9, with no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national average of 47%. Such figures, particularly in a very small cohort where each pupil weighs heavily on the totals, warrant direct discussion with the school about its context and the progress of individual children.
