Demand for places (Year 7, September 2026):Demand for placesFrom the government's figures on school applications and offers. We show how many children had the school as their first choice for every 10 places it offered. 22 for every 10 places means more than twice as many children put it first as there were places, so not everyone who put it first got in. 10 or fewer means there were enough places for everyone who put it first.
The figures are for families applying in the normal admissions round, and they change every year with the number of children in the area - never a guarantee for the year you apply in. Read them alongside the furthest-distance figure, if there is one. 78 families put it first for 83 places
– 9 for every 10 places.
Every one of them was offered a place. 1 of the 83 places went to families living outside the council area.Applying to a school in another boroughYou can apply to any state school in England, whichever council area it's in. List it on your own council's application form - they pass it on.
Schools generally can't favour children just for living in the same borough: distance is measured the same way for everyone. Some schools do use a catchment area or feeder schools, so check the school's own admissions rules. The "out of area" figure on a school's page shows how many places went to families from other council areas last year.Children putting it first, for every 10 places: 2023 3 · 2024 9 · 2025 12 · 2026 9

Pupil mix: 5 in 10 (less mixed than the Bristol, City of average)Pupil mixA single measure of how varied a school's pupils are in their recorded ethnic backgrounds: the chance that two pupils picked at random come from different backgrounds. Higher means more mixed.
We deliberately show just this one number, compared with the area, rather than a breakdown by group - it describes how diverse a school is without labelling who its pupils are. It's worked out from the Department for Education's official school census.
English as an additional language: 18% (England 22%)English as an additional languagePupils whose first language is known or believed to be other than English. It says nothing about how well they speak English - many are fully fluent. A higher figure often means a school has experience supporting children who are still learning English, and a wide mix of languages in the classroom. Nationally it's about 21.6%.

Teachers leaving each year
Teacher turnover: 17.9% a year (Bristol, City of 15.7%, typical in England 15.5%)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.
Behaviour
Awaiting Data
About this Behaviour status
We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.
Across Bristol, City of: suspensions by reason
Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 58 (2.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.7)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 86 (3.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.9)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 31 (1.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.8)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)
These are figures for all state secondary schools in Bristol, City of, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.
Attendance
Overall absence: 11.2%
Persistently absent pupils: 31.8%
Data year: 2024/25
About persistent absence
A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.
SEN
No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision
SEN Unit and Resourced Provision
Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.
Pupils on SEN Support: 28.1%SEN SupportPupils identified as having special educational needs who get extra help arranged by the school itself, without an EHC Plan. Nationally it's roughly 1 in 7 pupils. A higher figure can mean the school takes more children with additional needs, or that it's good at spotting them - it isn't a good or bad sign on its own.
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 4.7%EHC Plan (EHCP)An Education, Health and Care Plan is a legal document from the council for children with greater needs, setting out support the school must provide. In mainstream schools it's usually just a few percent of pupils. Schools with an SEN Unit or Resourced Provision often have a noticeably higher figure.
Data year: 2025/26
Most common needs - SEN Support
Social, emotional and mental health: 111 pupils

About these SEND figures
These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.

Curriculum and teachingNeeds attention
AchievementNeeds attention

Before this, under the old system, Ofsted rated the school Good (2021). The report card above replaces that grade.
How Ofsted report cards work
Since November 2025, Ofsted grades each area of a school on its own five-point scale, and no longer gives a single word like “Good” or “Outstanding”. Safeguarding (keeping children safe) is simply met or not met.
Exceptional The very best practice nationally
Strong standard Above what Ofsted expects
Expected standard What Ofsted expects of every school
Needs attention Some weaknesses the school needs to fix
“Expected standard” is a sound result – it's what Ofsted expects a good school to do. Report cards aren't directly comparable with the old single grades, which is why we don't turn them into one.
SecondaryGCSE results, Year 11
Attainment 8 score: 34.6
Compared with the area: 13.1 points below the Bristol, City of average (47.7)
Compared with schools with similar pupils:As expected(−2.1 points against an expected 36.7)Compared with schools with similar pupilsResults depend a lot on who a school teaches. Using every comparable state secondary in England, we work out the Attainment 8 score you'd expect from a school's own pupils - how many are disadvantaged, have SEN, or speak English as an additional language - and compare it with what the school actually got.
Within about 2 points either way counts as "as expected". It's one year of results and these factors explain only part of the picture, so treat it as one useful view, not a verdict.

GCSE results over timeResults over timeThe school's official results for the last three years, next to the area average and England. For London boroughs and other single councils that's the official council-wide figure; for districts within a county (like Epping Forest in Essex) it's the average of that district's own state schools, weighted by pupil numbers. We call it improving or falling only when the change is bigger than the normal wobble between one year group and the next; smaller changes are shown as broadly steady.
In small primary schools a couple of children can move the percentage a lot, so we allow for that too. A change of headteacher, a new trust or a very different intake can all shift results - worth asking the school about.

About the Attainment 8 score
Attainment 8 measures a pupil's average result across 8 GCSE-equivalent qualifications (English and maths count double). It shows how pupils performed, not how much progress they made getting there - a school with a higher score doesn't necessarily add more value, since pupils often arrive with different starting points. Progress 8 is the measure designed to account for that, but it currently can't be calculated for any school for the two most recent academic years, due to a nationwide gap in the data caused by COVID-19 disruption to Key Stage 2 testing.

About leaver destinations
This shows where a school's Year 11 leavers were recorded the following year - in a "sustained" destination means in education, an apprenticeship, or employment for at least 6 months, not just enrolled briefly. It's a different picture from exam results alone, and can highlight schools that support pupils well beyond just their GCSE grades.

About this subject list
This isn't the school's own description of its curriculum - it's real DfE exam entry data, showing which GCSE subjects this school's pupils were actually entered for in 2024/25. A subject not appearing here may still be taught but had no pupils entered that year, so treat this as a helpful guide rather than a complete guarantee - it's worth confirming directly with the school for the year your child would actually study.
PrimaryYear 6 SATs results
Year 6 SATs resultsYear 6 SATs: expected standardThe share of Year 6 pupils who reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths - all three - in their SATs (Key Stage 2). Nationally it was 62% in 2024/25. The higher standard is the top band, reached by about 8% nationally.
In a small school, one or two children can move the percentage a lot, so check how many pupils it's based on - the 3-year average, where shown, is steadier. Like any results, it reflects the pupils a school takes as well as its teaching.

Primary year groups are small, so we use the three-year average and allow for each school's own pupil numbers: a small school needs a bigger gap before it's called above or below. These factors explain only part of the picture, so treat it as one useful view, not a verdict.
