Teaching & academics
The published headline measures sit well below national figures, with an Attainment 8 score of 0.2 against a national average of 46.9 and no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Figures of this kind from a very small alternative provision should be read with care, as they may reflect a cohort and curriculum that differ significantly from a mainstream school. Parents are strongly advised to discuss attainment, qualifications offered and individual progress with the school directly.
