Ranks above 32% of area schools (23 secondary schools in Buckinghamshire)

Note Overall effectiveness from the school's most recent inspection under Ofsted's previous (pre-report-card) framework.

Results & progress

Department for Education data, 2023/24. Progress measures are value-added (how much pupils progressed versus similar pupils nationally) — a fairer signal than raw results, which partly reflect a school’s intake. Progress 8 is not published for later years (those cohorts missed their KS2 baseline in the pandemic).

Progress 8+1.1 — Well above average
Attainment 875.1
Grade 5+ in English & Maths99%
EBacc average point score7.2
