Teaching & academics
Academic provision is built around GCSEs, but the published attainment figures are well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 12.4 compares with a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths against a national figure of 47%. These numbers reflect a vocational school whose primary focus is dance training rather than a broad academic offer, and prospective families should weigh that priority carefully. Parents seeking a strong all-round academic record will want to look closely at how the school balances training with examined subjects.
