Dear Parents/Carers,
Today, we received our Year 6 SATs results, following on from the statutory tests, which were taken by our Year 6 children in May.
I am delighted to announce that our Year 6 children have exceeded the national average in every subject for children attaining the expected standard by a considerable margin. Here are the results:
| Subject |
% of pupils achieving the EXPECTED standard and above: Coleham (2023) |
% of pupils achieving the EXPECTED standard and above: National (2023) |
| Reading |
86% |
73% |
| Writing |
84% |
71% |
| Maths |
83% |
73% |
| Science |
95% |
80% |
| Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling |
92% |
72% |
| Combined (Reading, Writing & Maths) |
73% |
59% |
These results reflect how hard all our children in Year 6 have worked. They have shown tremendous determination and dedication.
In addition, our Year 2 children were also assessed in May using a mixture of teacher assessments and tests, produced by the government. We are very pleased with this data and have compared it to 2022 national averages. Here are the results:
| Subject |
% of pupils achieving the EXPECTED standard and above: Coleham (2023) |
% of pupils achieving the EXPECTED standard and above: National (2022)* |
| Reading |

The Year 1 children in school were also required to take a statutory phonics screening check test in June. As you can see from the data below, we are very proud of all of the children in Year 1.

All of the teachers and support staff at Coleham work tremendously hard and I would like to thank them all for their commitment this year. Whilst the data is only a small part of what makes our school great, it is an important part. The knowledge and skills the children need are built up over their journey through school and every single member of staff plays their part – so a huge thank you and well done to the whole team for making such a difference to our children.
I hope that you feel as pleased as we do with the results, which reflect how hard our children have worked this year.
Yours sincerely,
Claire Jones
Headteacher
