Yorkshire’s primary school league tables in full

He said: “We are really pleased that Telford & Wrekin primary schools are celebrating another good set of key stage two results this year”.

Out of the 32 schools in Portsmouth, 21 saw boosts in the number of Year 6 pupils reaching Level 4, a slight dip in the overall figure the city achieved in 2014.

100 % of pupils at Christleton, Norley CE, Delamere, Tilston Parochial CE, Leftwich Community and Alvanley primary schools achieved a Level 4 or above in reading, writing and maths assessments, the expected level for an 11-year-old.

The Department for Education (DfE) figures showed that just 676 primary schools in England failed to meet the government’s floor target of at least 65% of pupils reaching level four or above in reading, writing and maths, compared with 768 a year ago after the floor standard was raised from 60%.

‘This is excellent news and teaching staff and pupils have been justly rewarded for their hard work, ‘ Cllr Edgar added. Every afternoon as the school bell rings, the pupils converge on the street, and there they stay for the remainder of the day, playing soccer in the street, mercilessly teasing our dogs, and when the need arises urinating on our boundary walls.

The wealthy west London borough could also boast arguably the best primary school in England, Fox Primary in Notting Hill, where the average points score achieved by its 42 pupils was bested only by the six pupils at Little Dewchurch village primary school in Herefordshire.

The other two areas making up the top 10 are Redcar and Cleveland (87%) and Trafford (86%). Everyone at Thornhill is “Working together to be the best we can be” and I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of such an unbelievable school.

The number of academies in the top 1% of primary schools getting the highest average point scores has doubled since previous year.

Poole, the joint lowest-performing authority in today’s primary results, was congratulated by Schools Week earlier int the year for being the authority with the second most increased GCSE results in the country – showing how primary and secondary schools in the same area can vary widely in their performance.

The league tables have previously faced criticism for not giving a rounded impression of a school’s performance and failing to provide context for SATs results. “My thanks to the staff who worked with the children throughout their seven years in Waterside, and to the parents and families who supported them in their learning”. This was because Leeds was said to be lagging behind the national average in this year’s Sats tests.

St Jude’s Catholic Primary School saw a huge leap compared with 2014.

Birch, St Teresa’s, Fordham All Saint’s and St John’s all had more than half of its pupils reaching level 5 for reading, writing and maths.

The gap between disadvantaged pupils and their wealthier peers at primary schools has decreased in each of the last four years, narrowing by 7 per cent since 2011.

Such measures will ensure that this year’s success is sustained for decades to come, and this Government will move ever closer to achieving our commitment to ensure educational excellence for every child.

Bradford was also in the bottom ten nationally with 76 per cent of pupils achieving the benchmark.

“Primary schools make a huge difference to children at a vital time in their lives”.
