Reception to Year 6 high academic achievement

Pupils in every age group have achieved highly this school year, rising to the challenge of higher expectations in each age group as a result of very effective teaching, their own determination and support from families at home.

Reception, end of Early Years Foundation Stage

• 87% of children achieved a 'good level of development', showing their readiness to start learning in Year 1.
• 4 year increasing trend from just in-line with the national average in 2014 as a result of better assessment and learning opportunities.

Year 1, phonics screening check

• 97% of pupils met the standard for phonics
• 5 year increasing trend from below the national average in 2013 as a result of improved and consistent phonics teaching from Nursery and Reception.
• Virtually every disadvantaged pupil met the expected standard, giving these pupils the best possible start to reading for Year 2.
• All pupils making expected progress or better in reading, writing and maths from the end of Reception, with around half working at the highest level (greater depth).

Year 2, end of Key-Stage 1

• High reading and maths outcomes, likely to be above the national average, lower in writing because pupils had low starting points from the end of Reception.
• High achievement for disadvantaged pupils who met national standards and made rapid progress.
• Rapid progress in reading, writing and maths for some pupils to catch-up from low starting points at the end of Reception.

Years 3, 4, 5

• Very high proportion of pupils working at age-related expectations in reading, writing and maths
• Most pupils making expected progress, including sufficient challenge for most-able pupils who are generally working at greater depth.
• Sustained progress for disadvantaged pupils who mostly make the same progress as other pupils in school.

Year 6, end of Key-Stage 2

• Above the national average in all areas. Reading has become our strongest subject area, followed by, grammar writing and then maths. 
• Very strong achievement in reading including nearly half of children working at a higher level of attainment as a result of school improvement work this year.
• Progress measures are due to be released by the government in September.
