The children at Talbot Primary School make strong progress and achieve well over their seven years of schooling. The national tests are one important measure of success, as strong outcomes in reading, writing and maths helps ensure children are well prepared for each subsequent stage of learning and ultimately high school. You can also view a more detailed analysis on the DfE Compare School and College performance measures website.
Year 6 Results 2022-23
In May 2023, the Year 6 SATs assessed how confidently pupils were performing in English and Maths. Pupils sat national tests for Reading, SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) and Maths. Standards in writing were teacher assessed over a period of time based on a portfolio of work. Talbot‘s results were above above both the national average and local average for Leeds in all subjects, and often significantly so.

An alternative way at measuring achievement is to compare the Average Point Score of pupils at the end of Key Stage 2. The national expectation is to score 100+ in each subject (NB: there is no average point score for writing due to the manner it is assessed).

Most schools will have progress scores between -5 and +5. If a school has a progress score of 0 this means that on average their pupils achieved similar results at the end of Key Stage 2 (end of Year 6) to pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of Key Stage 1 (end of Year 2).
If a school has a positive progress score it means that on average their pupils made more progress than pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of Key Stage 1. For example: a score of +3 in reading would mean that on average pupils at the school got 3 scaled score points more in the Key Stage 2 English reading test, compared to other pupils nationally with similar results at the end of Key Stage 1.
A negative score doesn’t mean a school has failed or pupils have made no progress. It just means that on average their pupils have made less progress than pupils in other schools with similar results at the end of Key Stage 1. For example, a score of -4 in maths would mean that on average pupils at the school got 4 scaled points fewer in the KS2 maths test, compared to other pupils nationally with similar results at the end of Key Stage 1.
Year 2 Results 2022-23
The Year 2 SATs assessed how confidently pupils were performing in English and Maths. Children sat national tests for Reading and Maths, which were used to inform the final teacher assessed outcomes. Standards in writing were teacher assessed over a period of time.
