Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs, though the published results sit far below national benchmarks: an average Attainment 8 of 7.7 against a national figure of 46.9, and no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, where the national average is 47 per cent. Figures of this kind typically reflect a specialist intake with significant additional needs rather than a selective academic cohort. Families considering the school should discuss directly how individual progress is measured and supported.

The last word
A very small independent school whose figures point to a specialist, supportive setting; parents will want to speak to the school in person about whether it fits their child's needs.
