Teaching & academics

The published headline figures are sobering: an Attainment 8 score of 26.3 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national average of 47%. These results fall well short of typical national outcomes, and prospective parents would be wise to discuss them directly with the school to understand the context behind the numbers.
