2016 End of Key Stage Two Outcomes

Last week, we provided Year 6 parents with details of their child's teacher assessment and test results. Since then, further data has been officially shared by the DfE, and we now feel able to provide further details of our school's performance in this context. It is worth a reminder that the over-emphasis on test results without considering the progress our children make, alongside their many other talents, can be misleading. We also believe our teacher assessments provide a more accurate picture of a child’s overall attainment. However, the above table reveals how our school compares to this emerging national picture. 

Overall this is a very positive picture for our school and we have achieved above the national picture in all published areas so far at Key Stage 2. This is a massive well done for all of our pupils and our school! Their effort and positive attitude to learning during their time at Bitterne Manor is exemplary and sets them up for the next phase of their education. We are both pleased and proud that our results continue to reflect our expectation that we are all learning to be the best we can!
