Pupil Performance 2023

In the summer term of 2023, pupils in Y1, Y2 and Y6 were assessed in accordance with government guidelines. Below we have included some information on how our pupils performed, including national and local data for 2023 so you can see how we compare to national statistics. We congratulate our pupils on their hard work and achievements.

Y1 Phonics Screening Results

Pupils in Year 1 were asked to read 40 words which were made of 20 ‘real’ words and 20 ‘nonsense’ words. Pupils are judged to have met the required standard if they are able to read 32 or more of the 40 words correctly. 75% of our Year 1 pupils met this standard.
