Environment: Above average. Air pollution and traffic accidents are very low, while crime is roughly average.

Admissions: About average. The occupancy rate is very low and the offer rate is quite low.

Progress: Poor. Progress in maths is poor, in reading it is poor and in writing it is above average. (This takes into account pupils' prior performance. For actual grades, see Attainment.)

Representation: Out of balance. The socio-economic mix is out of balance with the local community, while ethnic representation is slightly out of balance with the local community.

Finances: Poor. This is because the school budget has been in deficit

Attendance: Poor. Pupil absence rates and the incidence of persistent absence are both very high.

Attainment: Poor. Maths, reading and GPS (grammar, punctuation and spelling) attainment are all poor. (This doesn't take into account pupils' prior performance. For that, see Progress.)
