Teaching & academics
Headline results sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 28.8 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in both English and Maths, compared with 47 per cent nationally. These figures should be read in the context of the school's small cohort and the high level of additional needs it supports, where results in a single year reflect just a handful of pupils. Families considering Holme Court will want to weigh academic outcomes alongside the tailored, small-group environment the school offers.
