Achievement and Performance Data

PLEASE NOTE THIS DATA IS FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2018-2019 AND IS NOT THE MOST RECENT DATA DUE TO COVID19 AND TESTING CANCELLED FOR 2020 AND 2021

“The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.”

Achievement and Performance Data 


Results Explained…

At the end of both Key Stages 1 & 2 children take national tests (SATs).

At Key Stage 1, the attainment of children is measured. In effect this calculates the percentage of pupils working at ‘the expected level’ in Reading, Writing, Maths and Science.

At Key Stage 2, the attainment and progress of pupils is also measured. Progress is a measure of improvement between a child’s KS1 result (4 years earlier) and their result at the end of Year 6. From 2016, progress is measured in terms of a scaled + or – score with zero as a statistical ‘median’- so, in really general terms, a school’s +  scoring may indicate positive progress whilst a negative score may indicate limited progress in certain groups.

 

Government ‘Floor- Targets’

Each year the Government issue ‘floor-targets’ for schools. This helps to identify schools that may need some support in a particular area. In 2018, at KS 2 schools could meet floor-targets either by:

  • Having a combined attainment score (in reading, writing and maths) of 65%+ Or:
  • Having progress scores that lie within ‘thresholds’ issued nationally.

We are above the national floor standard set by the DFE in terms of children achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths.
