Teaching & academics

Coxlease offers GCSEs, and its published results sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 8.9 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. These figures should be read in the context of a cohort in which roughly 97% of pupils receive SEN support, where progress is often measured very differently from mainstream schools.
