School Performance 

Key Stage 2 SATs

We expect high standards at Dronfield Junior School and the attainment of our pupils is at least in line with national averages and usually above by the end of Y6.  We appreciate that results can also vary from year to year as no two Y6 cohorts are alike. 

We are proud of our results, our pupils work hard and strive to be the best they can be.

Progress Scores

The progress measures aim to capture the progress that pupils make from the end of Key Stage 1 to the end of primary school. They are a type of value added measure, which means that pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils nationally with similar prior attainment.

A school’s progress scores in English reading, English writing and mathematics are calculated as the average of its pupils’ subject progress scores. These scores give an indication of whether, as a group, pupils in the school made above or below average progress in a subject compared with pupils with similar starting points in other schools.

A progress score of 0 in any given subject means that pupils in a school made, on average, the same progress as others of similar ability nationally in that subject. Positive scores mean pupils made better progress than pupils nationally; negative scores mean pupils made less progress than pupils nationally in that subject.
