Teaching & academics
The published Attainment 8 figure of 28.2 sits below the national average of 46.9, and the recorded proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is 0% against a national average of 47%, so parents will want to discuss these figures directly with the school. At the same time, the ISI's 'excellent' judgement points to strengths that headline exam data may not capture in isolation. Pupils can work towards GCSEs, A-levels and the Extended Project Qualification, giving older students scope to develop independent research skills alongside their main subjects.
