Teaching & academics
Headline GCSE results sit well below national benchmarks: the average Attainment 8 score is 3.8, against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47%. Figures of this kind in a school of this size can be heavily influenced by a small cohort and by the particular needs of the pupils it serves, so parents would do well to look behind the numbers. A visit and a frank conversation with the school about how it supports each child's progress will tell families far more than the statistics alone.
