Examinations
It gives me great pleasure to report our KS4 and KS5 results below and show that the school is making excellent progress. We are providing a value-added education for our students, regardless of starting points. The exam results since 2018 exam results continue to show this trend, with indications that the progress 8 score will continue to show pupils making progress above the national average. In line with government guidance, examination results for 2020 and 2021 have not been included in the table below. No performance table measures have been generated for these years as examinations were not completed, due to the pandemic.
