Teaching & academics
GCSE results sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 9.8 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils currently achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. Families considering the school will want to discuss these figures directly and understand the support in place for individual progress. The very small cohort can make year-on-year results volatile and difficult to compare with larger schools.
