Celebrating Success

As we approach the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on – and celebrate – the tremendous achievements of our pupils in this year’s statutory assessments. These milestones mark important points in our children's learning journeys, and I could not be prouder of the effort, progress, and success we’ve seen across the school.

Excellent KS2 SATs Results

Our Year 6 pupils have truly risen to the challenge of their end-of-key-stage assessments. The results this year reflect not only their academic capabilities, but also their resilience, focus, and determination. Individual results will be shared with parents/carers and pupils within their end of year reports.

Behind these results lies a team of dedicated teachers and support staff who have worked tirelessly to ensure every child was nurtured, challenged, and prepared—not just for the tests, but for the transition to secondary school. We also recognise the huge impact that the support of parents and carers has in children’s success. Ensuring good attendance and encouraging children to attend interventions enables pupils to make exceptional progress. Thank you to all involved – succeeding together.

Year 4 MTC Success

Our Year 4 children also shone in the national Multiplication Tables Check. Their fluency with times tables has improved impressively during Year 3 and 4, and this is a testament to the excellent teaching, methodical approach to teaching times tables, and engaging maths lessons they’ve experienced. From choral chanting of key facts, to flash cards and TT Rockstars, staff have ensured that learning multiplication facts was not only effective, but enjoyable. Quick recall of key multiplication and division facts (e.g. 3 x 8 = 24, up to 12x12) means that children are really well prepared for the demands of the Year 5 & 6 maths curriculum and beyond.

Phonics in KS1

The results of the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check were very positive. The proportion of pupils who reach the expected standard in the Year 1 check has been rising over the past three years and is now above average. The strong foundations in early reading reflect our school-wide commitment to phonics and early literacy. Our KS1 staff have done an excellent job embedding high-quality phonics teaching every day. We will continue to strive in this area to further improve our phonics offer for all children. It is vital that children learn to read in KS1 so that they can read to learn in KS2 and beyond.

A Whole-School Effort

These achievements are never about one person or one team. They are the result of a whole-school effort—teachers, support staff, leaders, governors, parents, and most importantly, the children themselves. Together, we’ve created an environment where pupils feel safe to try, supported to grow, and inspired to achieve and thrive.

Here’s to another year of determination, growth and success.
