Achievement

By the time our children leave us in Year 6, we want them to be ‘Secondary Ready’. This means developing the ‘whole child’ academically, socially, emotionally, physically and spirituality.

There is no national data for 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

National data for 2024, is confirmed late in the Autumn Term.

See the Performance Measures website school and college performance measures website for more information.

2024 Surrey data is higher than KS2 National in Reading (80), Writing (74) and Maths (77) and School has performed higher than Surrey. Disadvantaged is a focus for Surrey. The gap is still there with Disadvantaged performing lower than non-disadvantaged, although there are better outcomes in Reading.

Nationally girls continue to outperform boys, in all areas except Maths, where boys are slightly higher. Girls RWM was higher than boys (64% compared to 57%). Combined levels overall, are still lower than pre-pandemic nationally, but School is doing better with this.

Phonics Screening Check – Year 1 - 58 children

The Phonics Screening Check is a list of 40 words (some real and some pseudo ‘alien’ words) that children have to decode. If they read 32 words accurately, this a ‘pass’. Children who do not achieve 32, can retake the check in Year 2.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Profile was significantly revised in September 2021; therefore, it is not possible to directly compare 2021/22 assessment outcomes with earlier years.

The Department for Education explains that the Good Level of Development (GLD) is a performance measure for children in Reception Class or the EYFS. Children are defined as having reached a ‘good level of development’ at the end of their year in Reception if they have achieved at least the expected level in:-

  • personal, social and emotional development
  • physical development
  • communication and language
  • specific areas of mathematics and literacy
