PUPIL PERFORMANCE REPORT
The following tables detail the schools’ standards of achievement in 2024 at Key Stage 1 and 2. In all key performance indicators standards are above the national average.
Pupils in Year 6 (end of Key Stage 2) are assessed using national Statutory Assessment Tests in reading, maths, grammar, punctuation and spelling. In these tests pupil’s raw scores are converted into a scaled scored to decide if pupils have met or exceeded the expected standard for the end of the Key Stage. In writing pupil’s attainment is assessed by teachers against a national framework.
A scaled scored of 100 is needed to have achieved the nationally expected standard. Pupils with a scaled score of 110 or above in the tests are considered to have exceeded the expected standard.
Pupils in Year 2 (end of Key Stage 1) are assessed by teachers using the outcomes of national tests (SATs) and teacher assessment against a national framework in reading, maths and writing.
