Teaching & academics

Headline results sit well below national figures, with an Attainment 8 score of 12.2 against a national average of 46.9, and 17% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. These numbers reflect the school's therapeutic intake rather than a conventional academic cohort, and are best read in that light. Progress here is likely to be measured pupil by pupil rather than against standard benchmarks.
