| The school uses a range of qualifications from Entry Level to GCSE to ensure that all learners are able to achieve well for their next steps. Most learners arrive throughout the year and are often disengaged and display challenging behaviour. Learners quickly engage with the offer which ensures that they quickly make progress and begin to achieve well. The school is particularly successful at ensuring all learners leave with at least 1 qualification, meeting the average for all schools. It is also successful in ensuring that learners leave with good quality English and maths qualifications with almost three quarters of learners achieving at least a Level 1 qualification.Due to changes on the GCSE grading criteria and changes to qualifications that count in progress and attainment measures, it is difficult to directly compare the three year trend in data.All learners in the cohort are entered for GCSE English and Maths.
