Headteacher Adam Morris said: "This is a phenomenal achievement.

"To be in the top one per cent of all schools is a real cause for celebration.

"The children, staff and governors, as always, have worked incredibly hard to ensure the children are able to make as much progress as possible in their learning.

"We had expected this cohort of children to do well, but this national comparison is something we are very proud of."

As well as this achievement the school has been placed in the top six per cent of all schools for the progress the children have made in the combination of English and maths.

Mr Morris added: "We work very hard to ensure the curriculum meets the needs of all the children and that it inspires the children's learning.

"The adults work very hard to ensure high quality teaching and learning and additional support is provided when and where needed.

"Children have a very clear mentoring programme which helps to enable them to achieve their goals."
