Against South West and Dorset

Track: South West's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = South West median; D = Dorset median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.

South West state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).

Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the South West median, red = in South West's worst 10%.

Money: Compared only with academies' accounts (AAR), same academic year.

Progress 8: Not published for 2024/25: Progress 8 returns with 2026/27 results. national-rank: Not ranked for 2024/25: no published figure for this school.

Getting in

Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.

First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.

Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.

Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.

Inspections

GoodRequires improvement

Dates are the day each inspection started: Oct 2022 Good · Feb 2015 Good · Mar 2013 Requires improvement · Nov 2009 Good · Jan 2007 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report.

Inspection judgements graded Outstanding or Good, and Requires improvement or Inadequate, out of the judgements graded (the overall grade and aggregated judgements are not counted). Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils

Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (528 places), from Get Information about Schools.

Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.

Workforce

School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 21.22, leadership 2, teaching assistants 5.23, support staff incl. TAs 14.01, whole workforce 35.23 (48 people), 25 teachers by headcount.

Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.

Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.

• DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
• DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
• Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads

Financials

Academy accounts (AAR) · September 2024 to August 2025.

Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.

CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.

Destinations

Students who finished the stage in the cohort year, followed through the next year: sustained = at least six months in education, an apprenticeship or employment
