Key Stage 2 (end of primary school) results
Please find these results and the DfE Performance tables here, and a link on our website here
Schools are not required to publish their assessment results from 2019 to 2021 academic years as these have not been published as performance measures by the Secretary of State (Key Stage 2 SATs were not taken in the Summer of 2020 or 2021 due to Covid-19.
Instead schools must continue to publish the following information from their SATs for the 2018 to 2019 academic year. The data for primary school is:
- progress scores in reading, writing and maths
- percentage of pupils who achieved at least the expected standard in reading, writing and maths
- percentage of pupils who achieved at a higher standard in reading, writing and maths
- average ‘scaled scores’ in reading and maths
SATs Results
We are very pleased to be able to share our end of Key Stage 2 results with you.
We are very proud of all the pupils; they have worked incredibly hard to achieve such fantastic results. As you know all pupils have had considerable disruption to their schooling in the last few years. This only makes their achievements more remarkable. I would like to say thank you to the pupils, parents and staff for all the time, effort and hard work from everyone involved.
