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.
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).
