Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, this secondary school demonstrates solid academic performance, reflected in a GCSE Attainment 8 score of 42.3, placing it in the top 69% nationally. However, only 59% of students achieve grade 4 or above in English and Maths, which may be a consideration for parents. The school serves a diverse community with a student population of 1,159, and while it has strengths, particularly in overall attainment, the limited EBacc entry (3%) may indicate a narrower focus on certain subjects.
