Results
Primary results (end of Year 6, key stage 2)
2024/25 · 90 pupils. What these mean
Expected standard in reading, writing and maths
Pupils who scored 100 or more in both the reading and maths tests and were assessed by teachers as working at the expected standard (or greater depth) in writing.
2024/25
Higher standard in reading, writing and maths
A high score (110 or more) in the reading and maths tests and working at greater depth in writing.
2024/25
Average scaled score in reading
Test scores are scaled from 80 to 120; 100 or more means the expected standard. Pupils who didn’t sit the test are left out.
2024/25

Scaled from 80 to 120; 100 or more means the expected standard.

2024/25
No progress scores for 2024/25: the DfE couldn’t calculate them because there was no key stage 1 data for these pupils (COVID-19 disruption). They return with the 2025/26 results.
GCSE results (end of Year 11, key stage 4)
Latest: 2025/26 (provisional) · 145 pupils. Each figure shows its year. What these mean
2025/26 results are provisional: the DfE will revise them (next update due February 2027). The provisional data has no EBacc figures, so EBacc is from an earlier year.
Attainment 8 score
Each pupil’s results across 8 qualifications (maths counts double, and English usually does too), averaged across the school. It partly reflects pupils’ starting points.
2025/26 (provisional)
Grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSEs
Often called a “strong pass” in both subjects.
2025/26 (provisional)
Grade 4 or above in English and maths GCSEs
Often called a “standard pass” in both subjects.
2025/26 (provisional)
Progress 8 score
Compares pupils’ Attainment 8 results with pupils across England who had similar results at the end of primary school. 0 means about the same; above 0 means more progress, below 0 less. How to read Progress 8.
2023/24 — the latest year with Progress 8
+0.24
The DfE gives a range of +0.01 to +0.48 (95% confidence interval). The whole range is above 0, so progress was above the national average.
DfE banding: Above average
Lambeth, same year: 0.00
England (state-funded schools), same year: −0.03
The Department for Education says Progress 8 can’t be calculated for 2024/25 or 2025/26, because those pupils had no key stage 2 test results (the tests were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19). Progress 8 is a relative, in-year measure, so it can’t be compared directly year on year.
Entered for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc)
Pupils entered for all 5 EBacc “pillars”: English, maths, science, history or geography, and a language.
2024/25
EBacc average point score
Pupils’ point scores across the 5 EBacc pillars.
2024/25

| 2023/24 | 50.1 | 57.9% | 78.6% | +0.24 | 20% |
Results describe a different group of pupils each year. Progress 8 is a relative measure and can’t be compared year on year.

Merit-
A level progress (value added)
How well students did in their A levels compared with students across England with similar earlier results. 0 is about the same.
2024/25
−0.29
The DfE gives a range of −0.53 to −0.05 (95% confidence interval). The whole range is below 0, so progress was below the national average.
Progress band: Below average (published as a number from 1 to 5; how we word it)
AAB or better at A level, with at least 2 facilitating subjects
A level students retained to the end of their course
Results describe one group of pupils in one year, so they can change a lot — especially in small schools. The DfE says “conclusions should not be drawn on a single piece of data alone.” This school on the DfE’s performance tables (opens in a new tab).
