Summary
With a large student body of 1,442, the school has shown some strengths, particularly in GCSE attainment where it ranks in the top 100% nationally. However, recent Ofsted findings indicate that it requires improvement, and only 27% of students achieve a grade 4 or above in English and Maths. Additionally, the low percentage of students progressing to top-third universities may be a consideration for parents seeking strong academic pathways.
