Early Years Foundation Stage
Children are defined as having reached a Good Level of Development (GLD) at the end of the EYFS if they have achieved the expected level for the ELGs in the prime areas of learning and the specific areas of mathematics and literacy.
Good Level of Development (Gap to National)
| School | National | Difference | ||
| 76.2% | – | 65.2% | = | +11.0% |
The school is significantly better than the national average.
This shows that children are making strong progress and attaining well in our Reception cohort.
Key Stage 1
Phonics
The phonics screening check assesses children on how well they can decode certain words. Decoding means sounding out an unfamiliar written word. To do this, children will need to be able to recognise letters and the sounds that they represent. This is an important part of achieving reading fluency. Children take part in the screening in year 1, and those children who do not pass are screened again in year 2.
St. Oswald’s phonics screening pass rate in year 1: 80.4% (National average: 75.6%)
St. Oswald’s phonics screening pass rate of the re-check in year 2: 90.6% (National average: 43.8%)
This shows that children are performing strongly in the phonics screening tests.
Reading, Writing and Mathematics
At the end of year 2 (the end of Key Stage 1) the performance data is collected for national comparison purposes and analysis of school performance, in Reading, Writing, Mathematics and well as the combined school (pupils who reach the expected standards in all three -RWM).

This performance data shows that children at St. Oswald’s generally achieve significantly better academic outcomes than the average of schools across the country.
This data also shows that children at St. Oswald’s achieve significantly better than average progress (or value added) during their time with us.
The whole school performance data is very strong. The KS2 progress and attainment outcomes collectively are the strongest results the school has ever had under the modern framework of curriculum, assessment and inspection.
