The latest official primary school performance data shows how each school scored in SATs assessments for reading, writing and maths, taken by Year 6 pupils in summer 2024.
Each school is given an average ‘scaled score’ out of 120 for reading and maths.
These scores reflect how well pupils performed in the standardised tests, with 100 being the expected national standard.
The Department for Education defines pupils as meeting the ‘expected standard’ if they score at least 100 in both reading and maths SATs and are assessed by their teacher as ‘working at the expected standard’ or better in writing.
Pupils are considered to be working at a ‘higher standard’ if they score 110 or above in both reading and maths, and are judged to be ‘working at greater depth within the expected standard’ in writing.
