87% (2016 - 92% ; 2015 - 90%) of all pupils received five or more grades at A* to C (or equivalent); for those in receipt of the pupil premium, this figure was 76% (2016 – 77%; 2015- 83%).

83% (2016 – 77%; 2015 – 74%) of pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium achieved at least five GCSEs at grades A*-C (4+ under new 9-1 grade system) including Mathematics and English; this is 4% (2016 – 10%; 2015 – 9%) below the total for all pupils, but far exceeds the national average for all Pupil Premium boys and that for all boys nationally.

The Progress 8 score for all pupils was 0.28 (2016 - 0.43); for those in receipt of the pupil premium, this figure was 0.28 (2016 - 0.28) again, above national averages for that group.
