Assessment results
Exams results at GCSE and A-Level open doors for pupils and give them options. At primary level, tests and exams are certainly not the be all and end all, however, for a school such as ours, where clear indicators of progress are needed, it is helpful for all families.

With a small number of children in Year 6 in our 2018 cohort, we have taken the decision not to publish our End of KS2 results on this website so as to not identify any individuals. You can use the government Performance Tables to compare the performance of different schools.
2017 headlines
Reading attainment places us in the top 1% nationally! Compared with 2016, Reading has jumped from 33% to 83%, Writing from 50% to 83% and Maths from 67% to 75%.
83% of our children achieved at least the expected standard across all three subjects with 17% achieving a high level of attainment across all three subjects. Average scaled scores have improved too with the average scaled score for Reading at 112!
Clearly a lot of hard work on the part of the children and teachers went into these results but I would also hope that you would agree not at the expense of everything else that makes school a great place to be.
These look like the best KS2 results the school has had in a very long time, possibly ever. Our Phonics results are in a similar position with an 89% pass rate and the hard work here at Brightwell has just begun!
