Results & Performance

Celebrating Achievement at Holywell Green Primary School

At Holywell Green Primary School, we are proud of every child's achievements. Our ambition is for every pupil to make strong progress academically while developing the confidence, resilience and character they need to succeed in secondary school and beyond.

As a small primary school, each year group is relatively small, meaning that outcomes can vary from year to year. We therefore encourage parents to consider our results alongside the wider picture of pupils' progress, personal development and the quality of education we provide

Understanding Our Results

As a small community primary school, our cohort sizes are much smaller than those of many larger schools. Some year groups contain fewer than 15 pupils, meaning the achievement of just one child can change published percentages by more than 6 percentage points. As a result, assessment outcomes can vary from year to year.

We therefore look beyond headline figures and carefully monitor pupils' attainment and progress over time. Our focus is on ensuring every child makes strong progress from their individual starting points, achieves their full potential and leaves Holywell Green Primary School well prepared for the next stage of their education.

We encourage parents to consider our results over several years alongside the quality of our curriculum, the progress children make, and the wider opportunities and support we provide to help every child flourish.

Beyond the Data

At Holywell Green Primary School we believe success is measured in many ways.

During 2025–26 our pupils:

  • Achieved high standards of behaviour and conduct.
  • Developed strong reading habits through our reading culture
  • Benefited from Forest School learning.
  • Developed leadership through pupil roles and responsibilities.
  • Supported local charities and community projects.

Supporting Every Child

We are proud to be an inclusive school.

Our curriculum is carefully adapted so every child can succeed regardless of starting point. Children with SEND receive personalised support while remaining fully involved in school life wherever possible.

Achievement is measured not only by attainment but also by the progress each child makes from their individual starting points.


Continuous Improvement

We continually evaluate our provision to ensure pupils receive the very best education.

Current priorities include:

  • Further strengthening adaptive teaching.
  • Continuing to develop reading and writing across the curriculum.
  • Embedding high-quality assessment and feedback.
  • Developing our mixed-age curriculum.
  • Ensuring every child is ready for the next stage of education.

Why Our Results Matter

As a small school, one or two pupils can significantly influence overall percentages. For this reason, we believe the best understanding of school performance comes from considering:

  • Academic outcomes
  • Progress over time
  • Attendance
  • Behaviour
  • Personal development
  • Inclusion
  • The quality of teaching
  • The experiences and opportunities available to every child
