th
Dear Parents,
KS2 results
It is my pleasure to share with you our recent Y6 SATs results. We have done very well. The progress
of our children in reading, writing and maths has been exceptional.
96% of children made 2 levels progress in mathematics (10% increase from last year)
and 32% made more than 3 levels progress (15% increase).
100% of children made 2 levels progress in reading with a 33% increase in 3 levels progress.
At 40% we are above national average.
In writing 100% of children made 2 levels progress with 52% of children making 3 levels progress
(this is a 27% increase).
The pupils continue to work at above national average for level 4.
There are a number of scripts that we are sending back to be re-marked and
we can let you know the final results in September when these have been
returned.
KS1 results
Our results in Y2 also show excellent increases with 100% of our children
achieving level 2b+ and above in reading, writing and maths.
At the high levels, our children are working at well above national average.
In reception, our children continue to work at above national average.
I would like to congratulate pupils, parents and staff who have made these results possible. They are
important to us the school, to you the parents, and of course, to the individual pupils. We are proud of
their achievement, especially their great progress!
