This table shows how much progress pupils at this school made between the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4 compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of Key Stage 2. A score above zero means pupils made more progress, on average, than pupils across England who got similar results at the end of Key Stage 2.

Schools get a score based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, maths, 3 English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other additional approved qualifications. 27% entered the English Baccalaureate and 12% achieved.
