Performance Data:
All primary schools must undertake statutory assessments at the end of each key stage (EYFS, KS1 and KS2) as well as the Phonics Screening Check at the end of year one.
(Nationally, statutory testing was paused in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19. However, we continued to assess the pupils based on teacher assessments).
Our latest results are shown below:
