Ofsted

Ofsted has not published an inspection outcome for this school.

This is usual for schools that have opened recently, and for most independent schools, which are inspected by ISI or another approved body rather than Ofsted.

Exam results

Independent schools are not comparable in the performance tables. Most enter pupils for international GCSEs, which are not approved qualifications for these measures, so any Attainment 8 figure would be calculated from a fraction of what pupils actually sit. We do not publish one rather than publish a misleading number.

Free school meals, English as an additional language and SEN figures come from the state school census, which independent schools do not report into. Their records return structural zeros rather than measurements, so they are not shown here.

The neighbourhood around the school

Census 2021 figures for Wyre 003D, the statistical neighbourhood the school sits in — roughly 1,500 residents. It describes the area, not the pupils, who may travel in from further away.
