KS2 Data 2022-2023
The number of Evendons children achieving combined EXS (age related standard or above) across Reading, Writing and Maths exceeded both Wokingham and national averages. The same can be said for the numbers of children achieving a GDS (greater depth score).
The Reading paper saw our children achieve higher than national rates, both in those reaching the age related standard (EXS) and our children who achieved greater depth scores (GDS). When compared with local Wokingham results we again achieved higher rates of children reaching EXS, although we saw a slight shortfall of children reaching GDS.
This was a brilliant effort from the three, tricky texts which they were assessed on.
The Writing paper saw our children achieve higher than both Wokingham and national averages in all areas.
In Maths, our children achieved higher than national averages in all areas but we were slightly below Wokingham rates. However, after analysing the children’s assessment papers there were a number of children who missed EXS by only one scaled mark. This would have taken the children’s achievements to 89% for EXS.
Finally, within Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS) our children achieved higher than national rates in all areas. When compared to Wokingham we had a higher number of children achieving ECS with a slight shortfall of children reaching GDS.
Overall, our children and staff should be very proud of last year’s achievements.
