Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, this secondary school demonstrates solid performance, particularly in its GCSE results, which place it in the top 8% nationally for Attainment 8 scores. However, only 48% of students achieve a grade 4 or higher in English and Maths, and the percentage progressing to university is slightly above average at 67%, though none have entered top-third universities. Overall, while there are strengths in academic achievement, parents may want to consider the limited EBacc entry and the need for improvement in higher-grade attainment.
