Note Ofsted report cards grade each area separately with no single overall grade. This headline is a School Finder summary of the weakest core area, not an Ofsted grade.

✨ Hidden gem Pupils here make more progress than at most schools — it does better than its intake would predict. Based on DfE progress measures (Progress 8 / KS2), not an Ofsted grade.

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+0.5 — Well above average
Attainment 858.2
Grade 5+ in English & Maths75%
EBacc average point score5.3
