Admissions: Above average. The occupancy rate and offer rate are both very low.

Attendance: About average. Pupil absence rates and the incidence of persistent absence are both roughly average.

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

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