Teaching & academics

The published headline figures here warrant a careful read: the school's Attainment 8 score stands at 32.9, below the national average of 46.9, and the recorded proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is 0% against a national average of 47%. Such figures can reflect the way independent schools report results rather than genuine underperformance, so families are encouraged to ask the school directly about its actual GCSE outcomes.

The last word

A large independent in Yarm with selective entry at 11; just be sure to request the school's own results data, as the published attainment figures appear incomplete.
