Performance Data (2022-2018)
At the end of Key Stage 2, children sit a test in reading, GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) and maths. Children are assessed by their class teacher in writing.
The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.
Children are awarded one of the following Teacher Assessment judgements in writing:
Expected Standard – Working at the expected standard for their age
Greater Depth – Working at greater depth within the expected standard and has a strong understanding of the curriculum
Year 6 pupils were assessed in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) and maths. For further information, please see the Information for parents KS2 leaflet from the Standards and Testing Agency.

KS2 Progress Measures
Department for Education calculate progress measures using a value-added measure from KS1 to KS2. This value-added measure is worked out from the progress made since KS1.
Interpreting Progress Scores
If a school has a progress score of 0 this means that on average their pupils achieved similar results at the end of KS2 (end of year 6) to pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of KS1 (end of year 2).
If a school has a positive progress score this means that on average their pupils made more progress than pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of KS1.
Key Stage One
At the end of KS1 (Yr2), teachers are required to assess each child in the areas of reading, writing and maths. National Curriculum assessment tests are used to support teachers’ judgements.
