Outcomes
Outcomes 2025-26
Our accreditation outcomes reflect a broad, ambitious curriculum tailored to the needs of learners with additional needs. In 2025-26, learners achieved a wide range of qualifications, including GCSEs, Level 1 & Level 2 vocational awards, Entry Level qualifications, Duke of Edinburgh awards and National Outdoor Learning Awards (NOLA), ensuring every student had the opportunity to secure recognised and meaningful outcomes.
Our curriculum is inclusive and aspirational, enabling progression from Entry Level accreditation through to GCSE and Level 1/2 qualifications. Through enrichment, outdoor learning and wider curriculum opportunities, students develop confidence, resilience and independence alongside accredited success, supporting positive preparation for adulthood.
In total, students achieved 73 GCSE qualifications across 10 subjects, with 98% of GCSE entries resulting in a pass. Strong outcomes were achieved in Mathematics, English Language, Art, Craft and Design, and Biology, alongside qualifications in English Literature, Combined Science, Photography, Business Studies and Design Technology. These outcomes reflect the breadth and ambition of our curriculum, ensuring students can access academic, creative and vocational pathways that align with their strengths, interests and future aspirations.
