Exam results

Key stage 4 (GCSEs)

Measure	2024/25
Pupils at the end of key stage 4	148

Progress 8 score	-
Grade 5 or above in English and maths	54.1%

Progress 8 is paused nationally for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 school years. Those pupils sat no key stage 2 tests during the Covid pandemic, so there is no starting point to measure progress from. A blank figure here is not missing school data.
