These schools have been ranked based on their performance in the latest official primary school league tables, which assess pupils' attainment in reading, writing and maths at the end of Year 6.
The league table awards each school a score out of 120 for SAT assessments in reading and maths.
The 'scaled scores' reflect Key Stage 2 assessments taken by students in the summer of 2024.
The league table also includes the proportion of students meeting the ‘expected standard’.
According to the Department for Education, pupils are considered to be meeting this standard if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or above in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as 'working at the expected standard' or better in writing.
Pupils are deemed to be achieving at a ‘higher standard’ if they achieve a scaled score of 110 or more in reading and maths, and their teacher assesses them as ‘working at a greater depth within the expected standard’ in writing.
