Wow – another great success story summed up by the release of results for May’s end of Key Stage 2 SATs for our current Year 6.
The results haven’t been published yet, but I’m delighted to say for a third year, well over 90% of children at Moortown Primary School attained Level 4 or more and made at least expected progress.
This year, 30 pupils in the class sat the tests – one much-loved class member was unable to access the tests due to specific educational needs. Of the thirty who took the tests:
- 100% attained level 4 or more in reading (level 4 is the expected level for most children at the end of Key Stage 2)
- 100% reached level 4 or more in writing (this year, the writing tests were internally marked by Ms Hazell, but double, then triple-checked by others to make sure all marks given were fair – most schools in England marked the writing test internally)
- 97% reached level 4 or more in maths
We continue to not just meet but exceed nationally expected levels. Again, relating to the 30 who took the tests:
- 60% reached level 5 in reading and in writing (this will almost certainly be higher than national and local figures)
- 39% attained level 5 in maths, and a further 13% achieved level 6 (the level at which a typical 14 year old will be working at)
With great topics like Chocolate, Snowbound and Meet the Greeks; with themed weeks around business and enterprise, community and staying safe; with enriching one-off events such as art afternoons, Jubilee celebrations and trips out and about (Robinwood residential no exception!), the class have had a hugely enjoyable time in Key Stage 2. It’s great to know that children enjoy and achieve at Moortown Primary.
Well done to all the Year 6 pupils, and a big thank you from me to all their talented teachers and teaching assistants, too.
