Performance
Data is measured at 3 key points; EYFS, Y1 Phonics and End of KS2. School performance data is held online at the Department of Education Performance Tables website.
We are consistently pleased with our end of Year Key stage 2 SATs results and the progress our children have made since joining the school.
We continue to work hard with the children in order to make progress year-on-year. We celebrate this from EYFS through to Year 6. All the steps the children make lead up to their progress in Year 6. From building up phonics knowledge, decoding texts and increasing confidence in comprehension, all provides those basis skills to support the children as they move through the school. As a school we are pleased that these academic skills along with positive wellbeing and mental health support ensure our children are supported to achieve their potential.
