Year 6 children undertook reading and maths tests in May 2018.  Writing is not assessed in the same way using a test but through teacher assessment which is moderated and standardised both with colleagues in school, colleagues across our cluster of 8 schools and with the Local Authority. We follow this good practice of checking with both maths and reading also. The writing is measured against a list of statements and considers a number of pieces of a child’s writing over time.

Historically, we have a very good track record of performance at KS2 and consistently perform above the national and local averages.  We were delighted to receive a letter from the Secretary of State for Education to confirm that we were in the top 1% of all schools nationally for our results in Mathematics in 2018.
