Pupil outcomes for 2022/23

We are very proud of the range of qualifications our pupils achieved in 2022/23, as well as the other achievements they have made, which are harder to quantify. Our pupils have a very wide and complex range of educational needs as well as life experiences. To support their achievements and qualifications we have created a bespoke curriculum. This bespoke curriculum ensures a broad range of educational experiences and included examinations at GCSE, BTEC and Functional Skills level.

Three of our four Year 11 pupils achieved between six and nine qualifications, including Functional Skills Maths and English. One pupil successfully achieved a GCSE grade 1 in Maths and grade 3 in English Language.

College visits were arranged throughout the year for our Year 11 pupils so they could explore options available to them and to help them make informed choices - we then supported the pupils with the application and interview process and as a result, post-16 destinations were in place for all pupils. We are working closely with external agencies to support pupils' engagement and attendance.

Pupil outcomes for 2021/22

Summer 2022 was the first time many of our pupils had taken formal exams due to the COVID pandemic. We were extremely proud of how all our pupils rose to this challenge and completed a variety of exams including GCSEs, BTEC and Functional Skills. Over two thirds of our pupils achieved some accreditation and the majority have now started sixth form college, an apprenticeship or employment - doing courses ranging from catering to motorbike maintenance, from hairdressing to business studies.

With our partners, we are working hard to support all of them to settle into their next phase of learning. We will be following their progress and wishing them the best all the way!
