At Byker Primary School, we are committed to ensuring every child achieves their full potential. Our performance data provides a snapshot of our pupils’ achievements and progress across key areas, including reading, phonics, and SATs results. This information helps us to monitor and support each pupil’s learning journey, while also allowing parents and carers to understand how our school is performing in relation to national standards.

Year 1 Phonic Screen Check Results 2024

The phonic screen check is designed for all Year 1 pupils to show how well their reading and phonics skills are developing. The table below shows the percentage of Year 1 pupils in school meeting the standard compared to the national average.

Year 6 Key Stage 2 SATs results 2024

At the end of Year 6 pupils take SATs in school. Pupils are tested in their reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation and in mathematics. Writing is teacher-assessed.
The table below shows the percentage of Year 6 pupils in school meeting the expected standard compared to the national average.

Scores are also given in a scaled format, the range of scaled scores will always remain the same: 80 being the lowest and 120 being the highest. A scaled score of 100 0r more means that pupils have met the nationally expected standard in that tests.

Our latest Ofsted inspection took place in November 2023 under Section 8.  Since then, we have continued to grow and develop as a school, and we are determined to build on this inspection and ensure we continue to develop and provide the very best quality of education and highest levels of care to all of our children and our community. 

Data from academic Year 2024 showing a continued increase in attainment outcomes from 2022:

Academic Attainment and Achievement  

Statutory assessments are carried out at the start of Reception (Reception Baseline), and KS2 (Year 6). We are also required to carry out the Phonics Screen in Year 1 and Multiplication Tables Check in Year 4. 

This year as a school we will carry out the newly non-statutory end of KS1 (Year 2) for our own attainment assessment.
