Exam and Assessment Results.
KS3 Outcomes
Our KS3 students take nationally benchmarked tests for English and Maths (GL Assessments). We use these assessments so that we can track the progress of our students from intake to point of leaving. Results demonstrate that students have continued to perform in excess of the national averages – which has been typical of our KS3 outcomes over the last few years.
Below are our Provisional 2025 KS2 SATs results along with our previous assessment results.
