Teaching & academics
The published headline measures sit well below national averages: the school records an Attainment 8 score of 2.7 against a national figure of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Figures like these are heavily shaped by very small cohorts and by the particular needs of the pupils a school supports, so they are best understood in that context. Families are encouraged to discuss outcomes and the curriculum directly with the school. Smallbrook is inspected by the ISI.
