Academic attainment is a strength, with an improving three-year trend that culminated in a Progress 8 score of +0.33 in August 2024. As a smaller than average secondary school, relationships and culture are extremely positive and, as noted by Ofsted, “There is a real community environment and feeling of pride about the school.”
