Summary
With a strong parent satisfaction rate of 95%, this school provides a supportive environment for its students. While GCSE attainment is below the national average, with an Attainment 8 score of 8.0 and only 15% achieving grade 4 or above in English and Maths, the focus on individual needs may appeal to families seeking tailored education. However, limited published data on progress and EBacc entries suggests that parents should consider these factors when making their decision.
