Our Year Six SATs results are above Wokingham and National average for GPS, Reading and Maths.  We are very proud of these results.  During the course of the SATs week the Local Authority made an unannounced monitoring visit to check the implementation of the tests met the expected standard, and of course they did.  This year, our writing was moderated by the Local Authority.  We have gained much guidance from the experience, which we will be implementing in the new school year.
