Teaching & academics

Academic results sit comfortably above the national picture, with an Attainment 8 score of 52.4 against a national average of 46.9. That margin suggests pupils make solid progress across the breadth of subjects that feed into the measure. One figure to query directly with the school is the reported 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, which appears inconsistent with the strong Attainment 8 and is worth clarifying at an open day.

The last word

A medium-sized independent with above-average Attainment 8; a sensible shortlist candidate for families weighing the move at 11.
