The score compares this result with 14,048 mainstream state primary schools in England with both required measures for 2024/25. Academic attainment contributes 90% of the combined score. It measures exam or assessment results, not how much progress pupils made from their starting points.
9/10Attendance
Strong

The score compares absence with 14,048 mainstream state primary schools in England with both required measures for 2024/25. Lower absence receives a higher score. Attendance contributes 10% of the combined score and does not on its own measure teaching quality.
NAPupil progress
Not available for 2024/25
DfE did not publish KS1-to-KS2 progress measures for 2024/25 because the required KS1 assessments were cancelled during the pandemic. Progress would compare pupils’ outcomes with those of pupils with similar earlier attainment.
Pupil progress is not included in this version of Classpot Rating. Its absence does not reduce the school’s score.
