- In KS1 and KS2, all pupil premium children made expected progress or better in writing within the year 2020-21.
- In reading, 100% of pupil premium children in Years 3 and 6 made expected progress or better within the year, and pupil premium children in Year 4 exceeded the progress of those who were not pupil premium.
- In Years 1, 4 and 5, all pupil premium children made expected progress in maths within the year, whilst a greater percentage of pupil premium children than non-pupil premium children achieved the expected progress in Year 3.

Impact
- In March 2020, the national lockdown due to Covid disrupted the children’s education. There was no published data for this year, with the last in-school data being recorded in the Autumn term, just before most children were home educated.
- Data at this time showed that all pupil premium children in Year 1 were making expected progress or above within their year in reading, writing and maths. Likewise, in Year 2, all pupil premium children were making expected progress or more in writing and maths, with just one not having made the progress in reading.
- When the school was partially reopened, year 6 had 83% attendance of pupil premium children.
