Impact - Key Stage 2

• 2012. This was also above the national average (68%)

• In English, 95% (national average 87%) of pupils on FSM achieved 2 levels progress or more and 89% (83% national average) in maths.

• Value added for FSM pupils was 100.6 (national average 99.7)

and improve the provision to enable FSM pupils to achieve better.
