The Department for Education cancelled publishing test results for Years 2020, 2021 and 2022. Below are the last results that were published.

We are proud that our school was in the top 2% of schools in the country in the last Government Performance Tables (2019). In 2022 our results are even higher. Based on the 2019 table, these would put us in the top 60 of schools in the country (21,400 schools) and in the top 10 of schools in Birmingham!

Below is a summary of our results for 2018-19

KS2

Progress 2018-19

Reading +5.2

Writing +3.9

Maths +2.4

(% of eligible pupils 80% – 20 pupils)

What does this mean?

If a child is making the normal amount of progress each year then they would receive a progress figure of 0. If they were not making the expected progress then the figure might be -0.6 if it is only slightly behind or possibly -5 if they are even more behind expected. If they are making more than expected progress then the figure would be +0.5 for a little extra progress or higher if they are making more than that.

The above figures tell us that pupils at Water Mill make progress well above that which is expected. Well done Water Mill!
