Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, this school offers a supportive environment for students aged 7-16, particularly benefiting from its smaller class sizes with just 69 pupils. However, academic performance shows room for improvement, as evidenced by low GCSE attainment scores and no students achieving the expected standards in key subjects. Parents may appreciate the school's commitment to fostering a positive atmosphere, but should consider the academic outcomes when making their decision.
