How do our pupils perform?

“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.”

** Pupil has to achieve 110 scaled score in reading and maths, plus ‘greater depth’ at writing.

The progress measures are a type of value added measure which means that pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils nationally with similar prior (KS1) attainment. A school progress score of 0 means pupils on average do about as well at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally. A positive score means pupils on average do better at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally.

Information on progress for different pupil groups and for local authorities will be published in the revised publication in December 2022.
