Its Attainment 8 score of 44.5 is solid, and 65.5 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, well above the basics 4-9 benchmark. The school is oversubscribed, with 353 applications for 183 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 127 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests local families see the school as a strong option, and the data backs that up.
