GCSE results
Please note: In summer 2020 and 2021 exams were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and teacher assessed grades were awarded, consequently no performance tables were created. Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has stated that direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years should not be made.

Progress at KS5 is not being calculated nationally, this is because KS4 grades were CAGS and so do not provide a baseline that can be compared fairly across schools.
Please note: In summer 2020 and 2021 exams were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and teacher assessed grades were awarded, consequently no performance tables were created. Subsequently at Key Stage 5 progress data has not been calculated by the DFE for 2022.
