Teaching & academics

The published academic measures are well below national benchmarks: the school records an Attainment 8 score of 0.4 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. Figures like these, in a school with so few pupils, can be heavily influenced by individual cohorts, so parents are advised to discuss recent results and trajectories directly with the school.
