This gives a percentage of children who have achieved the expected level alongside those that have reached a higher standard than expected. We use these outcomes to measure the achievement of our pupils against national averages.
Despite their relatively lower starting points, our pupils achieve very well, and the longer children spend in our school the better they do. Our pupils performing significantly better than national averages in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2 and their progress measures are regularly in the top 10% of all schools in England.
Our most recent results are reported below and you can see a further breakdown of these here:
