2018

The government's progress measures aim to capture the progress that pupils make from the end of key stage 1 to the end of primary school. They are a type of value-added measure, which means that pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils nationally with similar prior attainment. For all mainstream pupils nationally, the average progress score will be zero. This means that school-level progress scores will be presented as positive and negative numbers either side of zero.

A negative score does not mean that pupils did not make any progress between key stages 1 and 2. A negative score means that they made less progress than other pupils nationally with similar prior attainment.

Our progress scores in 2018 were: English reading -0.7, English writing -2.0 and mathematics -1.1.

Year 8 pupils have also achieved significantly higher than national averages and have made excellent progress from their relative starting points.
