Teaching & academics

The published figures are notably low: an Attainment 8 score of 1.3 compares with a national average of 46.9, and no pupils were recorded as achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths against a national average of 47%. Such results are unusual and may reflect the school's very small cohort, particular intake or specialist circumstances. Prospective parents would be wise to ask the school to explain these figures and how individual pupils are supported.

The last word

A small, fee-paying school whose headline results sit far below national averages, making a direct conversation about its approach and intake essential.
