ATTAINMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT

ATTAINMENT AND PROGRESS

We are very proud of all our children’s achievements and in particular the good progress they make while at West Hampstead Primary School. 

Our children achieve very well in the core subjects, however as a school we also make sure that we celebrate achievements in all areas. This may be great progress in PE, an exceptional piece of art work, developing a real talent for music or learning to care for others.

ACHIEVEMENT IN 2021-22 and in 2018-19 (last nationally published data)

EYFS

At the end of Reception, every child is assessed by their teacher against the "Early Learning Goals" for each area of the curriculum.  

	WHPS 2023	National 2023
% of children reaching a "Good Level of Development" (Reached the Early Learning Goal in the Prime Areas, Literacy and Mathematics)	72%	68%

YEAR 1 PHONICS SCREENING

In Year 1, every child has a "Phonics screening check" in which their class teacher sits with them 1:1 to see if they are able to use their phonic knowledge to decode a series of words and letter strings.  Children meet the expected standard if they can successfully decode 32 or more of the 40 items.

	WHPS 2023	National 2022
% of children attaining the expected standard	85%	82%

KEY STAGE 1

At the end of Year 2, every child is assessed by their teacher against the nationally expected standard.  The children take tests in Reading and Mathematics to help inform this assessment.

READING	67%	67%
WRITING	55%	58%
MATHEMATICS	76%	68%

KEY STAGE 2

At the end of Year 6, all children sit nationally standardised tests (SATS) in Reading, GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) and Mathematics.  Children attaining a scaled score of 100 or more on these tests have met the expected standard for the end of Primary School.

In addition, teachers assess children's writing against the nationally expected standard.

READING	75%	73%
WRITING	79%	71%
MATHEMATICS	70%	73%
READING, WRITING AND MATHS (COMBINED)	61%	59%

READING	25%	29%
WRITING	11%	13%
MATHEMATICS	19%	24%
MATHS (AVERAGE SCORE)	103	104

PROGRESS IN 2022-23

In Year 6, children's progress from Year 2 is compared against the average progress made by all children nationally.  Average progress is indicated with a score of 0 (zero).  Better than average progress is indicated with a score of up to +10, and slower than average progress with a score of up to -10.  The majority of schools have progress scores between -5 and +5.

Progress from Key Stage 1	WHPS 2023	National 2023
READING	+0.9	0
WRITING	+0.6	0
MATHEMATICS	+0.2	0

These results show a picture of strong progress across all of the core curriculum.
