Each spring, all of our Year 2 pupils take the Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) at the end of Key Stage 1 in the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science. English is broken down into ‘speaking and listening’, ‘reading’ and ‘writing’. As recognised in our most recent ISI inspection report, “the results are far above the national average for maintained primary schools. This, together, with evidence seen during the inspection, shows that pupils are making excellent progress.”
The table below shows the latest available results, comparing the 2012 Herne Hill School results (HHS) with the 2011 Combined National results (National). For all subjects, the data should be read as percentage of pupils attaining ‘level 1 or below’, ‘level 2′ (broken down into 2C, 2B and 2A for reading, writing and mathematics) and ‘level 3 or above’. The higher the level the better; by the age of seven, children are expected to achieve level 2B.
For example, in speaking and listening, an amazing 82% of Herne Hill School pupils attained the top level 3 or above whereas nationwide only 21% attained the same level; all remaining Herne Hill School pupils attained the expected level 2.
