Teaching & academics

The published headline results sit far below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 1.2 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Figures of this kind at a very small school can reflect a particular cohort or specialist circumstances rather than typical performance, so prospective families should ask the school directly about how it measures and supports progress. The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
