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.
