Teaching & academics

GCSEs are offered, and the school's published results sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 25.8 compares with a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths against a national figure of 47%. Parents weighing this school against exam-focused alternatives should look closely at these figures and discuss them directly with the school. The Montessori model places weight on independent, self-directed learning, which may not be fully reflected in headline attainment measures.
