School Results 2023
The information below compares the attainment of our pupils with national averages. We are delighted with the excellent results across the school. They are a tribute to the children and the staff.
KEY STAGE TWO
Children in Year 6 are assessed on their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum.
The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.
Children are awarded one of the following Teacher Assessment judgements in writing:
Pre Key Stage – working at Key Stage 1
Working towards– working towards the expected standard for their age
Expected Standard - working at the expected standard for their age
Greater Depth - working at greater depth within the expected standard and has a strong understanding of the curriculum.
In addition to these measures and in line with requirements, we have reported the percentage of children achieving a High Standard. Children with a scaled score of 110 and above are included in this group.
Year 6 pupils were assessed in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling and maths. For further information, please see the leaflet Information for parents KS2 from the Standards and Testing Agency.
Our results are extremely pleasing. We were above national in all areas apart from reading, where we were slightly below. For the first time, we have been above national in maths by some significant margin.
Progress scores are measured from the children’s KS1 SATs results to their KS2 results. As you can see from the table below, our children have made excellent progress from year 3 to year 6 compared to national averages. We are delighted with these scores. This shows teaching in Key Stage 2 is good.
Key Stage One
At the end of KS1 (Yr2), teachers are required to assess each child in the areas of reading, writing, maths and science. National Curriculum assessment tests are used to support teachers’ judgements. For more information please see the leaflet Information for parents KS1 from the Standards and Testing Agency.
Judgements are made as follows:
Pre Key Stage – working within Early Years framework.
Working towards– working towards the expected standard for their age
Expected Standard – Working at the expected standard for a child at the end of Year 2
Greater Depth – Working at greater depth within the expected standard, with a strong understanding of the curriculum.
The children tried incredibly hard and were a credit to the school. These tests are abolished from September 2023. These are the last of the KS1 SATs results.
Year One Phonic Screening
97.3% of pupils in Year One attained the expected standard in the Phonic Screening test. THIS IS WELL ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE (80.8%). We are super proud of the children for this wonderful achievement.
Early Years Foundation Stage
77.4% of pupils in Reception attained a Good Level of Development against the Early Years Framework. THIS IS WELL ABOVE THE LOCAL AUTHORITY AVERAGE of 68.8%.
A Good Level of Development is defined as children working at the expected standard or exceeding the expected standard in the key areas of literacy, maths, physical development, communication and language and personal, social and emotional development.
We were delighted with these excellent results especially when you think how much schooling the children have missed. These results are a tribute to the hard work and dedication the children and the staff have shown.
