Record SATs results for Telford & Wrekin primary schools
Primary schools in Telford and Wrekin are celebrating after recording the borough’s best ever SATs results at Key Stage Two.
Figures released by the Government show that last year these rose again in the borough year on year, with Telford and Wrekin’s primaries recording by a 3% rise in English, a 2% rise in Maths and a 3% rise in English and Maths combined at Level 4+.
The results now bring achievement in the borough in line with national average for the first time. SATs results for individual schools will not be confirmed until later this year
Paul Watling, Cabinet member for Children and Young People, said: “These are the best ever results for schools in the borough at Key Stage two, when children leave primary school.
“It’s a huge achievement for all involved, predominately our children and the dedicated hard-working team of teachers, headteachers and support staff at our primary schools.
“It also shows the effective partnership working between the School Improvement Team, at Telford & Wrekin Council, and schools is bearing fruit and raising standards.”
“This is a very proud day for the borough and local school children. This is their day. Well done to each and every one of you.”
