Although our very small cohorts can make data analysis difficult and uninformative, we are delighted with our SATs results this year. Due to our class sizes, with far fewer than 30 pupils in each class, and because of the small and friendly nature of our school, we attract higher than average numbers of pupils with special educational needs. In 2026, of the 12 children in Y6, 11 took the SATs tests as the remaining pupil has an Education, Health and Care Plan, meaning they have significant additional needs and are not working at the level expected for a child of their age. A further 4 children in the cohort were on our Special Educational Needs register, meaning they need additional support to access some or all of the curriculum. Given this, we were delighted that, of the eleven children taking the tests, 82% passed the KS2 reading test (which equates to 75% of the whole cohort).
When looking at our data, it's worth remembering that each child accounts for 8% of our scores - what can seem like a big difference in percentages may only be one or two children in reality. We are proud of the progress all of our pupils make whilst here, but our SATs results are a real credit to the teachers, parents and pupils who have worked exceptionally hard.
