How do we rate this school?

Our unique rating system takes into account a range of different indicators to evaluate a school’s performance. The system tracks achievement, attendance, teaching, how well the school is preparing pupils for the future and whether it is improving.
Data may be missing for some indicators because it has not been published. This may be because the school is new or because it is very small so data has been suppressed to avoid identifying individual pupils. Schools do not lose points for missing data, so will still fare better in the ranking than schools that underperform on that indicator, but they cannot score as highly as schools that perform well on the indicator.
Schools that were newly opened from September 2014 onwards are flagged as NEW, and are not scored on any of the indicators.
