Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, this secondary school offers a supportive environment for students aged 11-18. While the GCSE Attainment 8 score of 35.9 indicates room for improvement, nearly half of the students achieve grade 4 or above in English and Maths. However, the low percentage of students entering the EBacc and progressing to top universities suggests that academic challenges remain, making it essential for parents to consider the school's overall support and resources available for student development.
