EYFS – Early Learning Goals 

Pupils in Nursery and Reception work towards achieving seventeen Early Learning Goals (ELG) which stretch across seven different areas of learning. These areas are categorised as follows: 

  • Communication and Language (C&L) 
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) 
  • Physical Development (PD) 
  • Literacy (L) 
  • Maths (M) 
  • Understanding the World (UtW) 
  • Expressive Arts and Design (EA&D) 

Pupils are defined as having reached a Good Level of Development (GLD) by achieving the expected level in the prime areas of learning and the specific areas of Literacy and Maths.

Results:

  • In June 2025, we assessed that 69% of our Reception cohort achieved a Good Level of Development (GLD).

Year 1 - Phonics Screening Check 

In June, our Year 1 pupils were assessed on their ability to read and decode a list of 40 words to confirm whether they have met the expected standard in phonic decoding. The test also allows for some Year 2 pupils to re-sit the assessment if they did not not reach the expected standard during Year 1. The test includes ‘alien words’ (including a cartoon animation) that have been created but can still be sounded out by pupils. The check progresses in difficulty by then testing pupils on real words (with no images) that pupils need to sound out. The pass mark for the check is 32 out of 40. 

Results:

  • In June 2025, 83% of our Year 1 cohort passed the screening check by scoring 32 or more.

Year 4 - Multiplications Table Check 

In June, our Year 4 pupils enjoyed participating in an online multiplication test of 25 questions, having 6 seconds to answer each question. The pupils in Year 4 truly challenged themselves to develop their times-table fluency throughout the year and apply their new understanding to their maths lessons, with the aim of mastering their times-tables by June.  

Results:

  • In June 2025, 63% of the Year 4 cohort secured a score of 20 or above, with 37% scoring the full marks. The average mark achieved for each pupil was an impressive 19.8 out of 25

Year 6 - End of KS2 Assessment (SATS) 

In May, our Year 6 pupils sat their end of Key Stage 2 assessments for English (Reading and Spelling and Grammar) and Mathematics. The purpose of the papers is to identify which pupils are working at the expected standard or at the greater depth standard. Writing and Science are assessed internally through teacher assessment. The results of the KS2 SATs are published by the Department for Education. 

Results:

  • The school received a combined score for Reading, Writing and Maths (RWM) of 59.2% of pupils achieving the expected standard, with 4% of our pupils securing a combined score for RWM at the greater depth standard.
  • For Reading, 70% of our pupils achieved the expected standard, with 26% achieving the greater depth standard. 
  • For Writing, 67% of our pupils achieved the expected standard, with 7% achieving the greater depth standard.  
  • For Maths, 74% of our pupils achieved the expected standard with 26% achieving the greater depth standard. 
  • For Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation, 70% of our pupils achieved the expected standard, with 22% achieving the greater depth standard. 
  • For Science, 63% of our pupils achieved the expected standard.
