• Attainment 8 score of 50.3 is above last year's of 47
• Ebacc APS of 4.23 remains strong (3.99 last year), despite our intent to offer a broad curriculum and not restrict student choice
• Four students achieved an overall points score of 78+ (where 81+ is the equivalent of 9 subjects at grade 9)

• Eleven students achieved 20+ grades above indicator
• A further 43 students were 10 or more grades above indicator
• Provision on the farm allows students to achieve nationally recognised qualifications that give students the skills and knowledge to progress.  These qualifications are not included in any progress 8 figures but typically achieve over three grades better than their other subjects
• The figures open slot (and therefore overall figure) remain significantly impacted by offering courses that are appropriate, see curriculum intent, but not included in DfE calculations
• Our SEN support students significantly closed the gap in terms of progress, from a P8 gap in 2019 of 0.7 to 0.5 in 2020
• In English, the gap has closed from around 1 in 2019 to 0.66 in 2020, and in maths from 0.5 in 2019 to 0.2 in 2020
• Attainment and progress of disadvantaged students appears low, but in part this is because of our curriculum model - if an all-subjects calculation is used, the progress of disadvantaged students goes up by 0.10
