Led by Head Mr Duncan Smith, it admits pupils at age 11 and offers entry at the 11+ stage.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs, and the published attainment figures are well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 3.9 against a national average of 46.9, with 0% achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. Figures of this kind are worth discussing directly with the school, as a very small cohort can make headline statistics difficult to interpret and may reflect a particular pupil profile or specialist intake.
