Teaching & academics

The school's average Attainment 8 score of 44.3 falls modestly short of the national figure of 46.9. The reported proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is listed as 0% against a national average of 47%, which is unusual and worth clarifying directly with the school, as it may reflect how independent-school data is recorded rather than actual performance.
