Teaching & academics
Published attainment figures sit well below national benchmarks: the school's Attainment 8 score is 0.2 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Figures of this kind almost always reflect a small or particular cohort rather than mainstream GCSE outcomes, so parents should ask the school directly about how progress is measured and what pathways pupils follow.

The last word
A very small independent setting in Taunton where personal attention is likely the draw. Parents should speak with the school about its approach and how it tracks each pupil's progress.
