Assessment Information
Key Stage 2 Performance Data
This page allows you to access past performance data about St James the Less.
The link below takes you to the government website which compares schools. It is important when you use this information to look at more than one year for any school, as all schools have different cohorts of children year on year.
During the COVID period, testing was suspended in 2020 and 2021, so no data is available for these years. However, you can get access to over 20 years worth of school data for all schools in England.
The data is only focused on what takes place in Year 6 (End of Key Stage 2). Statutory testing in Year 2 has now been suspended (from 2024).

NB: Year 2024-25, the writing judgements were externally moderated by the Local Authority.

Moderation takes place every 4 years.
