Progress 8 and Attainment 8 are performance measures that were first introduced in 2015.
We are not able to calculate Progress 8 scores for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26. This is because there is no KS2 assessment data available to calculate the baseline for Progress 8 for these years due to Covid-19 disruption.
The school’s Attainment 8 score is currently 5.8.
No pupils at the school achieved a 5 or above in English and maths
No pupils were entered for the EBacc.
All pupils obtained an appropriate place in post-16 education or employment after KS4.
