On the isolation index the school scores 0.3 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
Total roll recorded: 365 students, from the 2026 roll census. Percentages may not sum to exactly 100% because of rounding and students who decline to state an ethnicity.
