The vast majority of Year 2 pupils have met the government's expected standards in reading, writing and maths at end of key-stage 1 assessments.  Around 40% of pupils met the standard to be working at greater depth.

For our 13 disadvantaged pupils in Year 2, virtually all (11 pupils) met the expected standard in reading with 9 achieving the expected standard in writing and maths.  The school is committed to removing barriers and enabling our disadvantaged pupils to achieve and thrive.

Since the end of Reception, virtually all year 2 pupils have made expected progress from their different starting points with up to one-third making more than expected progress - typically these pupils needed to 'catch-up' their peers to meet age-related expectations.  Such progress during Year 1 and Year 2 shows that there is sufficient challenge and high expectations of our pupils.

Outcomes were highest in reading, closely followed by maths and then writing. Nearly half of pupils (48%) are working at greater depth in reading, far higher than 25% nationally, last year.  Reading outcomes have built on the strength of our phonics at the end of Year 1.  

The proportion of pupils working at greater depth in maths has increased to 42% as a result of a school improvement priority this year to change our teaching of maths.  Pupils have successfully developed a deeper understanding of maths concepts and improved their ability to apply their knowledge to new problems as a result of our use of apparatus, visual representation and emphasis on fluency with basic skills in class.  Last year, 21% of pupils were working at greater depth in maths nationally.
