KS2 SATs Results

Please find below a summary of the attainment of pupils from Year 6 for 2022-23. We are delighted with the results as these children had two successive years of disrupted learning and did not benefit from the usual school experience during the Covid lockdowns. Bearing all this in mind, these results have shown how determined and resilient our children are, and how committed CJS is to getting the best out of them!

Every year, pupils complete baseline assessments on entering Year 3 at Connaught Junior School and progress is measured from there usually we would have also measured progress from KS1 data but this has not been possible due to Covid. As a junior school, it is important for us to baseline our children in Year 3 as we take from many infant schools. The difficulties faced by junior schools in terms of measuring progress is noted on the Department for Education Performance tables website.

The results in the table above are put alongside the national average. Connaught exceeds the national average in every subject at the expected level. Connaught also beats national data in Reading Greater Depth (GDS), Maths and SPaG (Spelling. Punctuation and Grammar)

This table below shows the KS2 SATs results over time. As a school, whilst we challenge the children to achieve their best, we continue to teach all other subjects (including cookery, pottery, Forest School and all the foundation subjects) so that the children in Year 6 still benefit from a creative curriculum and enjoy their last year in primary school.

*The Year 6 Leavers in 2021 took past SATs papers under test conditions and came up with impressive results, especially after spending so much time out of school. This is not published data as officially the SATs did not take place in 2020 or 2021.
