Teaching & academics
Pupils follow GCSEs before progressing to A-levels, with the Extended Project Qualification available to stretch the most independent learners in the sixth form. Published headline figures are unusually low - an Attainment 8 score of 21.2 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% gaining grade 5 or above in English and Maths against a national average of 47% - so prospective families would do well to discuss these results and how they are reported directly with the school.
