Teaching & academics

The school's average Attainment 8 score of 47.2 sits a touch above the national average of 46.9, suggesting solid all-round GCSE results across the cohort. The curriculum runs to GCSE rather than continuing into the sixth form, so families should plan for a move at 16. Personal development was also rated 'excellent' by the ISI, pointing to careful attention to pupils' wider growth alongside their studies.
