"This score is testament to the skills of our highly trained staff, and the hard work of our students and families, as we all work together to meet the aspirations of our students. What a brilliant piece of news for the school and for our community.”

Progress 8 is now one of the most important ways that a school’s performance is measured and it is based on students’ progress made from the end of year 6, when the Key Stage 2 SATS in reading and maths are taken.
