Points to note

Results for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years
Due to the national lockdown, no formal assessments took place during the 2020 and 2021 summer terms. Please refer to our 2023 assessment results for our latest published data.

Pupil Results prior to academy conversion
Our school joined the Lumen Learning Trust in February 2020, consequently only the pupil assessment results from 2021 onwards are under the leadership of Lumen Learning Trust.

Our Specialist Centre
Our school has a specialist centre for children with learning difficulties with additional needs. These children are educated in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 within their own 'cluster'. We use finely tuned assessments for these children and report their progress individually. The results below do not include our cluster children.

How does Ofsted fit into this?  
Ofsted inspections provide a rounded assessment of school quality, based on the intent, implementation and impact of the school’s curriculum; pupils’ personal development, behaviour and attitudes; and the leadership of the school. 

 We share school performance measures data with Ofsted, and it uses this to inform inspections. It is important to remember that data is a starting point for Ofsted. It is used to inform the discussions with school leaders about what they are teaching children, how they are running their school and the impact this has on children’s outcomes. School performance data on its own does not determine an inspection outcome. 

You can search for schools, colleges, multi-academy trusts and sponsors in England and check their performance. You are able to view and download:

  • Exam and test results
  • Ofsted reports
  • Financial information
