The proportion of girls attending the school is well below the national average. The majority of pupils are from a White British background. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is in line with the national average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is broadly average. The proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care plan is below average.
