Teaching & academics
Recent published results sit well below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 4.3 against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with a national figure of 47%. Families considering the school will want to discuss these outcomes directly, alongside how the small class sizes are used to support each child. Given the size of the cohort, headline percentages can be heavily influenced by very few pupils, so context from the school itself is worth seeking.
