Teaching & academics
The school's published headline results sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 2.1 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. Figures from a school of this size can be heavily influenced by a small cohort, so parents would be wise to discuss individual progress and the curriculum directly with the school. It is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted.
