Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, the academy offers a supportive environment for students aged 3 to 19. However, academic performance is a notable concern, as only 4% of pupils achieve grade 4 or above in both English and Maths, and there are no entries for the EBacc or expected standards at KS2. Parents should weigh these factors carefully against the overall positive school environment.
