School Performance Data 2016
In 2016 the Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs tests were the first based on the National Curriculum 2014 and were scored and reported in a different way with the removal of levels. Pupils are now assessed as to whether they met the expected standard and whether their progress was sufficient. The DfE made the decision that an effective way of calculating progress was to put all pupils nationally into groups based on their Key Stage 1 results, so that they could compare groups of pupils who have similar starting points to each other. They took a pupil’s average performance at Key Stage 1 across reading, writing and mathematics to create an average point score. Pupils with similar average point scores were then allocated to prior attainment groups to compare against 2016 end of Key Stage 2 attainment. These results are not comparable with previous years results as they are a different measure.
The important measure for schools this year is to meet the Floor Standard. To meet Floor Standard in 2016 at least 65% of Year 6 pupils must meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths OR Year 6 pupils achieve sufficient progress in all three areas of reading, writing and maths.
As a small school we often have small cohorts, with our 2016 cohort comprising of 7 pupils - each one representing 14.3% of the overall group. Some of our results in the published DfE Performance Tables are suppressed due to this reason as a result of the small cohort and ensure individual pupils are not identifiable.

The Department for Education publishes Primary School Performance Tables every year. These are collated following the KS2 SATs results that are taken by pupils in Year 6 as they leave primary school. These are released in December of each year and give information on achievement and progress. Our current results in the 2016 Performance Tables show:
43% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined.
71.4% of pupils met the expected standard in the maths test.
43% of pupils met the expected standard in the reading test with 14.3% achieving at a higher standard
43% of pupils met the expected standard in the grammar, punctuation and spelling test.
Progress measures are suppressed in the data and specific percentages are not reported due to the small cohort size. We are pleased that average pupil progress from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 in reading, writing and maths was sufficient and met the Floor Standard as defined by the DfE but detailed information in relation to this cannot be reported and remain supressed.
