We had a progress 8 score of 0.22 which shows that student outcomes were excellent.  Year 11 students achieving 9-4 in English and Maths was 70% and 59% achieved Grades 9-5. In our second year of entering Year 9 students for GCSE Languages, 62% of students achieved a pass at grade 5 and above with nearly 30% at the top grades of 7-9. Incredibly, 14 of our Year 9 students achieved the top grade of a 9.
