Assessment and Standards

2025 was another year of good academic progress and attainment, especially in Year 6. Attainment is typically national average or better, with particularly high levels of attainment at ‘Greater Depth’. In 2024, the percentage of Farfield Year 6 children reaching ‘greater depth’ in each of reading, writing and maths was in the top 5% of all schools nationally. In 2025, we got exceptionally high combined EXS and outstanding scores in reading, grammar and punctuation and in maths. An astonishing 58% of our children got Greater Depth in reading in 2025, and 40% got Greater Depth in Maths. (The national comparators were 33% and 26% respectively.)

Assessments for our younger children appear to be around the national average. We are very inclusive and have a lot of children with SEND. The only significant disappointment was the Y4 Multiplication Check – this will be a massive priority next year and will improve markedly.

Here is our statutory data for 2025 and over time:
