I want to take this opportunity to update our community with information regarding our test results this year.

The tests that Year 6 sat are externally marked and then compared nationally for school league tables and pupil performance. Year 2 also sat new, nationally developed tests this year.

This year the SATS were rewritten in order to test the National Curriculum which came into force in September 2014. This new national curriculum has been devised to drive up standards. We have been instructed to tell Year 6 that they have either ‘met standards’ or ‘not met standards’. 

The Department of Education have released headline information for this year.

• Nationally 53% of children were judged to have ‘met the standard’ in Reading, Writing and Maths.
• 66% of children, nationally, reached the expected standard in reading.
• 72% of children achieved the expected standard in spelling, grammar and punctuation
• 70% of children achieved the expected standard in mathematics.

We are really proud of our 2016 cohort of children.  We wish to congratulate them on all the hard work they put into their studies this year.  Our children have an excellent start to their school life and are able to successfully make progress throughout their time with us at Lordship Lane!
