Achievement
We understand that pupil success is not just about brilliant SATs results. Success can also be found in completing a painting, learning a new song on the violin, getting better at spelling, swimming a whole length or finally being brave enough to climb a tree in our nature area. Whilst our academic results are impressive we believe that success isn't always big and showy but that it happens everyday in every classroom.
Our children work incredibly hard and we are rightly proud of them, everyday.
The Government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. The last available public data is from the 2018 to 2019 academic year. It is important to note that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance. Please note: The government are still validating data for the 2022/2023 year and the 2023 achievement charts below will be completed and possibly amended on its release.

Analysis
These are very good results. They show that 89% of the children in Year 2 achieved at least the expected standard in Maths, 86% in Reading and 75% in Writing. They also show that a quarter of children exceeded the expectation in Reading and Writing and that one in five exceeded the expectation in Maths. They represent some very pleasing results and show that the children in Year 2 have done extremely well.

Although no national comparisons are available at the time of writing in Key Stage 1, we are delighted with them and are confident they will compare favourably when such statistics become available.

These are outstanding results. They show that 92% of the children in Year 6 achieved the expected standard in Maths, 92% achieved the expected standard in Writing, 96% achieved the expected standard in Reading and 100% achieved the expected standard in SPaG. They also show that 85% of children achieved the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths. Equally pleasing are the figures for those children exceeding the expected standard and, as you can see, all our exceeding results are also substantially above national averages. The average scaled score in Reading, Maths and SPaG are all 4 points higher than national averages.
The children have worked extremely hard and we should be rightly proud of their achievements. However a good school is one that is constantly reflective and always wants to improve.

Analysis
These are very good results. They show that 79% of the children in Year 2 achieved at least the expected standard in Maths, 84% in Reading and 79% in Writing. They also show that a third of children exceeded the expectation in Maths, that two-fifths of children exceeded the expectation in Reading and just under a third of children exceeded the expectation in Writing.
They represent some very pleasing results and show that the children in Year 2 have done extremely well.
Although no national comparisons are available at the time of writing in Key Stage 1 we are delighted with them and are confident they will compare favourably when such statistics become available.

These are very good results. They show that 75% of the children in Year 6 achieved the expected standard in Maths, 80% achieved the expected standard in Writing, 90% achieved the expected standard in Reading and 80% achieved the expected standard in SPaG. They also show that 70% of children achieved the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths. The average scaled score in Reading was 109, SPaG 106, and in Maths it was 105.
Obviously different cohorts of children will achieve differently depending on their individual circumstances. However I am very impressed with these results and they represent some very pleasing outcomes for these children.
The children have worked extremely hard and we should be rightly proud of their achievements. However a good school is one that is constantly reflective and always wants to improve. The school will continue to analyse these in depth and plans are in place to progress the breadth and depth of the curriculum as we work towards preparing for September 2018.

These are outstanding results. They show that 93% of the children in Year 6 achieved the expected standard in Maths, 90% achieved the expected standard in Writing, 100% achieved the expected standard in Reading and 97% achieved the expected standard in SPaG. They also show that 86% of children achieved the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths which is 25% above national averages (last year we were 21% above national averages). Equally pleasing are the figures for those children exceeding the expected standard. 34% of our children achieved an exceeding score in Reading, Writing and Maths compared with a national average of 9%. All our results are substantially above the national averages and have been now for a long period of time.
It is also worth noting that these assessments were based on the assumption that the children in Year 6 have completed 4 years of this new curriculum when they have, in fact, only completed three years.
Overall these are extremely pleasing results and give us much to celebrate. The children have worked extremely hard for these results and we should be rightly proud of their achievements. However a good school is one that is constantly reflective and always wants to improve. The school will continue to analyse these in depth and plans are in place to progress the breadth and depth of the curriculum as we work towards preparing for the future.
