Teaching & academics
The school's headline results sit well below national averages: its average Attainment 8 score is 4.4 against a national figure of 46.9, and no pupils currently achieve grade 5 or above in both English and Maths, compared with a national average of 47%. These numbers reflect a small cohort, where individual circumstances can move the percentages sharply, so parents are encouraged to discuss them directly with the school. The setting is suited to families who value close attention and a small community over a broad, data-led academic offer.
