Please note that when looking at SATs scores for any school, the data is very crude and cannot possibly give a full picture of that school's achievements.  SATs measure a child's response to a test paper on one day in the year.  Teacher assessment looks at the child's achievements over the entire year.

SATs do not take into account the starting point for children.  Children who have special educational needs are compared with other children with no allowances made.  It may be that scoring a Level 3 in English in Year 6 is a magnificent achievement for a child who suffers from dyslexia.  SATs take no account of this and the child is labelled as a failure - simply because they did not achieve a Level 4.

SATs were introduced because what was being achieved by primary aged children, although of value, could not be measured.  We now have a system of measuring something, even though it has no value.

Read these table by all means, but do come along to the school to get a true picture.
