School Performance Data
Children at Lightwater Village School consistently achieve above the expected attainment for their age group. Performance is high in all areas.
We are incredibly proud of our most recent results from statutory testing. As you can see from the information below our school is comfortably above or in line with national averages. There has been a significant increase on last year's outcomes and we are immensely proud of everything tthe school has achieved this year.
We monitor the progress of children throughout their time with us to ensure that all are given the opportunities to achieve the best they can. This means that where children are experiencing difficulties these are quickly identified and each child is supported with their particular needs. Our Special Needs coordinator ensures that support is gained from outside agencies, where necessary, for individuals and that a programme of support through additional staffing is put in place.
All teachers will teach to different ability groups within the class enabling all children to achieve their potential. Equally, as we assess and monitor the progress of each child we can see where some may need to be extended and challenged with their learning. We regularly update parents on the progress of their child and how we and they can support more.
