Our school is proud to achieve outcomes that are consistently above national averages across key stages, reflecting our commitment to high standards, exceptional teaching and learning, and ensuring every child flourishes academically and personally.

In Early Years, 76% of children achieved a Good Level of Development, compared to 71% nationally, providing a strong foundation for future success.
We are particularly proud that 100% of our Year 1 pupils passed the Phonics Screening Check, demonstrating the strength of our early reading provision and ensuring children become confident, fluent readers from the start of their school journey.
At Key Stage 2, our outcomes are exceptionally strong.
97% of pupils met the expected standard in Reading, 91% in Writing and 88% in Mathematics, all significantly above national figures. Our combined Reading, Writing and Mathematics result of 85% is substantially higher than the national average of 62%, placing our pupils among the highest-performing nationally and our school in the top 5%
These outstanding achievements are a testament to the hard work of our pupils, the dedication of our staff, and the strong partnership we share with parents and carers. While we celebrate these successes, we remain ambitious for every child and continue to strive for excellence, including increasing the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard.
