Key Stage 2 Performance
End of Key Stage 2 Performance
These are our KS2 results and reflect our high levels of attainment in Reading, Writing and Maths and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS) and celebrate all of our July leavers on their wonderful achievements.
The ‘RWM combined’ line in the table indicates the number of children attaining the expected scores in each of the three areas of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.

Summary of our results:
KS2 SATs in 2026 followed the testing and marking procedures. The actual scores that pupils received in their tests, the ‘raw’ scores, are scaled to account for any variability in difficulty of the tests from year to year. The scaling is done such that a pass mark always corresponds to a scaled score of 100.
In KS2 the full range of scaled scores is 80 - 120, with a scaled score of 100 or more representing the expected standard or higher in each test.
