PUPIL OUTCOMES 2025-26
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2022, Schools are not required to publish data on their test assessment results at Key Stage 2 , as these will not be published as performance measures by the secretary of state.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.

*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.
