Environment: Above average. Air pollution and traffic accidents are roughly average, while crime is quite low.

Admissions: About average. The occupancy rate is roughly average and the offer rate is quite low.

Attendance: Below average. Pupil absence rates and the incidence of persistent absence are both quite high.

Progress: Below average. Progress in maths is poor, in reading it is poor and in writing it is above average. (This takes into account pupils' prior performance. For actual grades, see Attainment.)

Finances: Below average. This is because the school budget has been in deficit

Representation: Out of balance. The socio-economic mix and ethnic representation are both slightly out of balance with the local community.

Attainment: Poor. Maths attainment is below average, reading is poor and GPS (grammar, punctuation and spelling) is poor. (This doesn't take into account pupils' prior performance. For that, see Progress.)
