in maths. 100% of children made at least expected progress in writing, 98% in reading
and 98% in maths. 94% of children achieved level 4+ in reading, writing and maths
combined. 29% of children made more than expected progress in reading, 50% in
writing and 24% in maths. This accelerated progress is partly due to pupil premium
funding with a third teacher leading a group in Year 6.
