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 today show that last year these rose again in the borough year on year.
Telford and Wrekin's primaries have recorded a three per cent rise in English, a two per cent rise in Maths and a three per cent rise in English and Maths combined at Level 4+.
The borough’s highest performing school is Lilleshall Primary, closely followed by Muxton Primary.
The most improved school is Hollinswood Junior, which shows an increase of 28 per cent of children passing their SATs in English and Maths from last year’s figures. Crudgington Primary is next most improved, with an increase of 23 per cent.
Another school which has recorded a significant achievement is William Reynolds Junior, where every Maths student has made two levels progress from Key Stage One into Key Stage Two and 98 per cent of English students have achieved the same.
Councillor 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, head teachers 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."
