Impact

The school has been successful in accelerating the progress for less able students in KS3 through an effective catch up programme and the use of the Nurture Group. In English, 100% of the catch up and Nurture cohorts achieved above their targets to diminish the difference between them and their peers. In Maths, students had a 100% improvement through all 3 areas linked to the Numeracy Ninja initiative (Mental skills, Times Tables and Key Skills).
