Academic Achievement

**The performance measures below are for the 2018 to 2019 academic year and are not current.  The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.  They have archived data from the 2018-19 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.

Academic Achievement 2019

We are very proud of our achievements in raising standards across the school over the last 3 years.  As you can see from the tables below, our pupils have achieved notable successes this year with many of the results (attainment and progress) being above the national averages.

Whilst we want all of our pupils to be highly skilled in the core subjects of English and Maths, we are able to balance this with a broad and balanced curriculum that is underpinned by meaningful and memorable experiences. 

Key Stage 1

Our results in 2019 showed that Holbrook pupils made good progress from their starting points achieving results above national expectations.  In addition, we were particularly pleased about the number of pupils achieving greater depth in Reading, Writing and Maths which is considerably higher than the national averages.
