Teaching & academics

Academic headline figures sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 2.9 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47 per cent nationally. Figures of this kind, in a school of this size, suggest a cohort whose needs and progress are not well reflected by standard attainment measures. Families should speak directly with the school about how individual pupils are supported and assessed.
