Examinations
It gives me great pleasure to report our KS4 and KS5 results below and show that the school is making good progress. We are providing a value-added education for our students, regardless of starting points. Even with our huge increase in cohort size, the school maintains it's good position and we are still in line with national progress at GCSE. We are particularly pleased with our Post 16 results where we boast a progress score of +0.15 giving students a fantastic spring-board they need to move on to their chosen next steps. 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
