No progress scores for 2024/25: the DfE couldn’t calculate them because there was no key stage 1 data for these pupils (COVID-19 disruption). They return with the 2025/26 results.

Results describe one group of pupils in one year, so they can change a lot — especially in small schools. The DfE says “conclusions should not be drawn on a single piece of data alone.” This school on the DfE’s performance tables (opens in a new tab).

Admissions

For a place at the usual starting age you apply through your home council (where you live), even if the school is in another area — not to the school. You can usually name several schools in order of preference.
