Summary
With a GCSE Attainment 8 score of 36.9, this school demonstrates above-average performance compared to many institutions, particularly excelling in the top 90% nationally. However, only 44% of students achieve a grade 4 or higher in English and Maths, and the recent Ofsted report indicates that the school requires improvement. While 40% of students progress to university, there are no students entering top-third universities, which may be a consideration for parents seeking strong academic pathways.
