School Performance

The Government is not publishing KS2 schools data for the 2021/22 academic year. Schools have been advised to continue displaying our most recent published KS2 performance measures which were from 2019. We are looking forward to publishing our KS2 level data in 2023.

Assessment and testing

In 2019 the Year 6 pupils achieved well above the national average in reaching the expected standard for reading, writing, spelling, punctuation & grammar. The combined percentage achieving reading, writing & maths is 87% compared to 65% nationally. We maintained a higher proportion of pupils achieving the greater depth standard.

 Average reading progress score 3.7 (confidence interval 1.4 to 6.0)
 Average writing progress score 3.3 (confidence interval 1.1 to 5.5)
 Average maths progress score 4.1 (confidence interval 2.0 to 6.2)

 Average scaled score per pupil in grammar, spelling and punctuation 110
 Average scaled score per pupil in maths 110

Average scaled score per pupil: the expected standard in the tests is a scaled score of 100 or above. In 2017 the threshold for a high score in a test was 110. Our average score per pupils are at the higher threshold.

Progress measures aim to capture the progress that pupils make from the end of infants (end of Year 2) to the end of juniors (end of Year 6). They are a type of value added measure which means pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils nationally with similar prior attainment. The school’s progress scores are calculated as its pupils’ average progress scores. The school level progress scores are presented as positive and negative numbers either side of zero.

  • A score of 0 means pupils in this school do about as well at key stage 2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally.
  • A positive score means pupils on average do better at key stage 2 than those with similar prior attainment nationally.
  • A negative score means pupils do less well at key stage 2 than those with similar prior attainment nationally.

 Key:

  • KS2 – Key Stage 2
  • SPAG – Spelling, punctuation and Grammar
  • TA- Teacher assessment
