Teaching & academics

The published figures sit well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 17.7 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. These results suggest the school's measured outcomes at GCSE are currently limited, and parents will want to discuss them directly with staff. It is worth asking how the headline figures relate to the size and make-up of the cohort.

The last word

A small independent school where the personal scale is clear, though the published attainment data deserves close attention from prospective families.
