Turning Point Academy
Lancashire, North West · L39 1PX
Turning Point Academy is a small independent school in Lancashire, with around 63 pupils and a mixed intake from age 11. Led by headteacher Mr Mike Marshall and inspected by the ISI, its modest size points to a setting where pupils are known individually rather than lost in a crowd. The academic data sits well below national benchmarks, so this is a school best understood as one supporting pupils whose needs are not met by larger mainstream provision rather than one chasing headline results.

Teaching & academics
The published figures are stark: an Attainment 8 score of 10.3 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils gaining grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. GCSEs are offered, but these results suggest the academy's priorities lie in steady, individualised progress rather than conventional examination outcomes. Families considering it should discuss directly how academic goals are set and measured for each pupil.

The last word
A very small independent school whose strength is likely to be close personal attention rather than exam league tables. Best suited to families seeking a supportive, individualised environment.
