Teaching & academics

Results present a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching grade 5 or above in English and Maths stands at 56%, comfortably ahead of the national average of 47%. However, the school's Attainment 8 score of 31.1 sits well below the national figure of 46.9, suggesting strength in core subjects is not matched across the wider basket of GCSE qualifications, which are the school's main academic offering.

The last word
