Below is a summary of our results for 2023-2024

KS2

Progress 2023 -24

There are no progress figures for this year due to school closures in previous years due to COVID

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.

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