Standards of Attainment and Progress in Subjects
The quality of pupils’ attainment and progress is good at all ages in the school and often high, particularly in Years 12-13. Pupils’ attainment in public examinations is good in GCSE and high at A Level in relation to their abilities. Girls, who are currently only in the sixth form, performed consistently better than boys over the three years 2001-2003, but the boys reversed the trend in 2004.
Pupils make rapid progress in Years 7-9 and particularly in Years 12-13, where results at A level have improved consistently over the last four years. Individual education plans (IEPs), monitored closely by the school, help pupils with special educational needs (SEN) to make good progress at all levels.
