About This Data
- •Data sourced from the National School Census for 2024/25, collected each January.
- •This is not live data. For current availability of places, contact the school or local authority directly.
- •Capacity refers to the maximum number of pupils a school can accommodate. Schools may operate above or below capacity, and spare places may only be available in certain year groups.
- •Persistent absence means a pupil missed 10% or more of their possible sessions during the academic year. Absence rates during 2020–2022 were significantly higher due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

GCSE Results
No GCSE results available for this year.
About This Data
- •Schools are ranked by their Attainment 8 score, which shows overall exam results. This data comes from the Department for Education performance tables.
- •Exam results and progress scores tell you different things. Imagine two children climbing a mountain: one starts at the bottom and climbs halfway up, while another starts a third of the way up and climbs another third. The second child climbed less distance but finished higher up. Exam results show where pupils finished (like height on the mountain), while progress scores show how far they've come since primary school (like distance climbed). Progress scores help you understand how much a school has helped pupils improve, regardless of where they started.
