Department for Education
Many Parents are keen to see how we are performing in relation to other schools.
The Department for Education (Dfe) Performance Tables provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil attainment and progress, absence, workforce and finance. The Performance Tables include percentages of achievement to expected standards or above in reading, writing and maths and the percentage of expected progress in each subject. You can find the School Performance Tables from the DfE by clicking the link below.

We are extremely proud of how well our pupils have achieved, despite 2 years of disturbed education, due to Covid.
EYFS
Key Stage 1
Children in Year 1 complete a Phonics Screening Check
The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.
Children are awarded one of the following Teacher Assessment judgements in writing:
- Expected Standard – Working at the expected standard for their age
- Greater Depth – Working at greater depth within the expected standard and has a strong understanding of the curriculum
At the end of KS1 (Year 2), teachers are required to assess each child in the areas of reading, writing and maths. National Curriculum assessment tests are used to support teachers’ judgements.
Key Stage 2
At the end of Key Stage 2, children in Year 6 sit a test in the following areas which are marked externally:
- reading,
- GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) and
- maths
Children are assessed by their class teacher in writing.
KS2 Progress Measures
Department for Education calculate progress measures using a value-added measure from KS1 to KS2. This value-added measure is worked out from the progress made since KS1.
If a school has a progress score of 0 this means that on average their pupils achieved similar results at the end of KS2 (end of year 6) to pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of KS1 (end of year 2).
If a school has a positive progress score this means that on average their pupils made more progress than pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of KS1.
