Academic performance
Statutory National Curriculum testings (SATs) did not take place in the academic years 2019/20 or 2020/21. Results on this website are from 2019.
Testing resumed in the academic year 2021/22 but this is a transition year and schools do not have the publish their results. We have made the decision to provide parents and those viewing our website a summary document. The data needs to be viewed with caution and it should be taken into account that pupils missed significant periods of schooling between March 2020 and July 2021.
Results will start to be published again following the 2023 SATs and other statutory tests.

The school’s Christian ethos and the leaders ambitious drive are important part of the school’s aspiration for all pupils. Leaders want pupils to thrive academically but also to develop their personal qualities . For instance, they want pupils to be compassionate and show empathy in line with the school’s vision , ‘To walk in the shoes of others’.
Leaders have put in place an ambitious and well-designed curriculum, ensuring coverage of the national curriculum requirements. They equip pupils with the essential skills and knowledge.
