A letter from Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State
She has written to us personally to congratulate the school on our progress and the achievements of our pupils.
PUPIL OUTCOMES 2024-25
From September 2022, Schools are not required to publish data on their test assessment results at Key Stage 2 , as these will not be published as performance measures by the secretary of state. (NAHT guidance). However, we are happy to share our attainment and progress with our families.
We are very proud of all of the achievements of the children at Hambrough this year.
The results below are a result of effective teaching, the children’s passion for learning and the support from families at home.

*RWM indicates children who achieved the expected standard in all three subjects
The vast majority of pupils met the expected standard in all subjects, with outcomes well above national averages. In particular, maths and GPS were real strengths, with almost all pupils achieving the expected standard.
A significant proportion of pupils exceeded expectations, especially in GPS and maths, where outcomes were well above national figures. Reading and writing outcomes at greater depth were also in line with or above national averages, demonstrating secure understanding and strong application of skills.
Overall, these results reflect pupils’ hard work, the consistent support from home, and the school’s focus on high‑quality teaching and learning, enabling children to leave Year 6 well prepared for the next stage of their education.
