2025 Performance Data
We are really proud of all the children who took part in their SATs exams this year; they worked hard and have made good progress from their starting points. Our 2025 outcomes demonstrate the strong progress made by pupils at Nook Lane, particularly from their individual starting points. While attainment in some areas was slightly below national figures, the data reflects clear evidence of accelerated progress across subjects from their KS1 starting points.
2024 Performance Data
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils who sat the 2024 SATs tests. They approached the assessments with determination, resilience, and a fantastic work ethic. Their efforts, along with the dedication of our staff, have led to outcomes that we are truly proud of. Attainment in both reading and maths was above the national average at the Expected Standard and at Greater Depth, with a particularly impressive 40% of our pupils achieving the Greater Depth Standard in reading. This reflects the impact of our whole-school focus on reading and the commitment to developing confident, fluent readers. Outcomes in maths and in grammar, punctuation and spelling were also strong at the Greater Depth level. These achievements are the result of focused preparation, high-quality teaching, and a broad, engaging curriculum. We are incredibly proud of every child’s effort and of the staff who supported them to reach their full potential.
2023 Performance Data
Please see the table opposite for Nook Lane’s Y6 SATS results for this year, which again show that more children at our school achieved the “Expected Standard” in all subjects when compared with national averages.
To put the results in context, particularly for children who have not achieved the “Expected Standard”. It is worth noting that 41% of the country’s children have not managed to achieve the combined “Expected” measure across reading, writing and maths. Headline data does not show the enormous progress that so many children have made even if they have not met the “Expected Standard” in either individual core subjects or across all of these subjects. For example, several pupils missed either the “Expected Standard” or the higher or “Greater Depth” standard by a single mark.
Many children have achieved significant success in their attainment and that is to be applauded. But equally impressive is the fact that every child has tried so hard to achieve their very best, making excellent progress. Irrespective of outcomes, we want to congratulate everyone for their resilience and determination in tackling the tests which are widely agreed to have been more challenging than usual. We are so very proud of you all!
2022 Performance Data
We are really proud of our children for their performance in the May 2022 SATs. They are the first cohort to sit these exams since 2019. Due to the pandemic, and missing large amounts of school, they have had to work extremely hard to attain the Y6 expected standard and, for some, the higher standard within the expected standard.
We are very pleased with our performance at the the expected standard, where we are above national for reading, writing, maths and combined.
Our attainment at the higher standard in reading and maths is also extremely pleasing; we are proud to be above national and the highest performing school in Peak Edge for Reading and Maths at the higher standard.
Nook Lane’s average scaled score for reading was 106.5 (compared to 104.8 nationally).
Nook Lane’s average scaled score for maths was 105.4 (compared to 103.8 nationally).
2024 Multiplication Tables Results
Children in Year 4 are required to take a computer-based Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) assessment.
Well done to the Year 4 children, the Y4 team and to parents, carers and families too for their support.
The sooner children gain rapid recall (or what we term automaticity) with their times tables, their ability to tackle more difficult problems in mathematics, as they move into upper juniors, is enhanced.
Remember this is just a snapshot so it is really important for children to keep practising their time tables over the summer in order to commit them to their long term memory in readiness for Year 5 and beyond.
