60 pupils took the tests in 2025, so each child moves the school's result by about 2 percentage points. Results in small schools swing from year to year; the three-year average is steadier.
Average scaled scores in 2025: reading 106, maths 105 (100 is the expected standard). Higher standard in reading, writing and maths: 17%.
There are no results for 2019/20 or 2020/21, when the tests were cancelled. What do SATs scores mean?

Most recent inspection, published 18/01/2024: School remains Good.
This was a shorter check that confirms an earlier grade rather than giving a new one. Ofsted moved to report cards in November 2025.
