Exam results
Published by the Department for Education for the whole year group. Figures for smaller cohorts are withheld by DfE to protect pupil privacy and appear here as a dash, not a zero.
| Year | Attainment 8 | Progress 8 | Grade 4+ English & maths | EBacc grade 4+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024/25 | 56.00 | - | 76.9% | 53.7% |
| 2023/24 | 55.20 | 0.65 likely between 0.46 and 0.84 |
78.5% | 53.8% |
| 2022/23 | 54.50 | 0.67 likely between 0.48 and 0.86 |
80.6% | 48.5% |
Progress 8 compares pupils here with pupils nationally who had similar results at the end of primary school; 0 is average. It is an estimate, and DfE publishes a range it is likely to fall within. Where that range spans zero, the school cannot be said to be above or below average.
Teachers staying and leaving
These come from the School Workforce Census, which follows each teacher into the next year. The numbers count full-time jobs, so a teacher who works half the week counts as half. They are not a count of people.
| Census year | Teachers (FTE) | Still there a year later | Moved to another state school | Left state schools | Left in total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024/25 | 82.2 | 61.2 | 7.0 | 14.0 | 25.5% |
| 2023/24 | 91.2 | 59.2 | 11.0 | 21.0 | 35.1% |
| 2022/23 | 92.4 | 61.2 | 17.6 | 13.6 | 33.8% |
| 2021/22 | 46.6 | 32.8 | 8.8 | 5.0 | 29.6% |
| 2020/21 | 59.7 | 46.6 | 3.0 | 10.1 | 21.9% |
| 2019/20 | 74.3 | 59.7 | 5.6 | 9.0 | 19.7% |
This is turnover among teachers. It says nothing about the headteacher or the senior leadership team: DfE publishes leadership retention separately and we do not hold it by school.
Catchment area
Nobody publishes a catchment area map for this school that we can read. That does not mean an address is outside its area. It means we hold no map, so we cannot tell you either way.
