Teaching & academics
Results sit in mixed territory: the school's Attainment 8 score of 35.8 falls below the national average of 46.9, suggesting modest performance on this headline measure. However, 47% of pupils achieve a grade 5 or above in English and Maths, exactly in line with the national figure. The offer of an EPQ alongside A-levels gives older pupils a chance to develop independent research skills valued by universities. Inspection is carried out by the ISI rather than Ofsted, as is typical for independent schools.
