2026 Performance Data
We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils who completed their 2026 SATs tests. They approached the assessments with determination, resilience and a fantastic work ethic, and we are delighted with their achievements. Our combined result in reading, writing and maths was 64% at the Expected Standard, above the national figure of 63% and, importantly, our strongest combined result in over five years. We are particularly proud of our reading outcomes, with 75% of pupils achieving the Expected Standard and an outstanding 39% achieving Greater Depth, significantly above the national Greater Depth figure of 33%.
These results reflect the hard work and commitment of our pupils and the dedication of our staff. We are especially proud of the progress made by many pupils from their individual starting points. SATs results provide an important measure of attainment, but they cannot capture the progress, resilience, confidence and personal achievements of every child. We are immensely proud of all our Year 6 pupils and everything they have achieved during their time at Nook Lane.
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!
2026 Multiplication Tables Results
A huge well done to our Year 4 children and the Year 4 team for their fantastic results in this year’s Multiplication Tables Check. We would also like to thank parents, carers and families for their continued support with times tables practice at home.
We are particularly pleased to see the number of children achieving highly in this year’s check. Of the 56 pupils who took part, 42 pupils (75%) achieved 20 or more correct answers, an increase from 69.3% last year. Even more impressively, 30 pupils (54%) achieved 24 or more, compared with 48% last year, and 19 pupils achieved the full 25/25 – an increase from 14 pupils last year.
These results reflect the hard work our children have put into developing rapid recall and automaticity of their multiplication facts. Developing secure times tables knowledge is an important foundation for tackling increasingly complex mathematical concepts as children move through the upper juniors.
The Multiplication Tables Check is just a snapshot of children's learning, so we will continue to encourage all pupils to practise their multiplication and division facts regularly. Keeping these facts secure and fluent over the summer will help our children feel confident and ready for Year 5 and beyond.
Well done, Year 4!
2025 Multiplication Tables Results
A huge well done to our Year 4 children and the Year 4 team for their fantastic results in this year’s Multiplication Tables Check. We would also like to thank parents, carers and families for their continued support with times tables practice at home.
Our Year 4 pupils achieved a mean score of 19.9 out of 25, which is an improvement on last year’s Year 4 cohort, who achieved a mean score of 19.2. Of the 62 pupils who took the check, 43 pupils (69.3%) achieved 20 or more correct answers, with 14 pupils achieving the full 25/25.

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.
