Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs, and the published headline figures reflect the specialist nature of the school: an average Attainment 8 score of 9.9 sits well below the national average of 46.9, with 10% achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths against a national figure of 47%. These numbers are best read in the context of a special school, where progress is often measured very differently from a mainstream comparison. Families considering it will want to discuss directly how individual goals and support are tailored to each pupil.
