More good news for Great Waldingfield School.

The school year at Great Waldingfield Primary School is finishing on a high.

After a well deserved 'Good' rating from OFSTED earlier in the term, the school has now received the news that year 6 children have done much better than the national average in recent SATS tests.

These tests have caused particular problems for some schools this year because they were set on a new basis, and teachers across the country found themselves in some difficulty understanding what standard they were teaching to.

It seems that there were not too many problems at Great Waldingfield.  Nationally some 53% of children reached the 'accepted standard' in writing, reading and arithmetic, but at Great Waldingfield the number was 67%.  In Maths and writing the almost 90% of children achieved the accepted standard, compared with national averages in the 70's.

Congratulations to Head, Tina Hosford, Deputy Head, David Sandford, class teacher for years 5 and 6, and the rest of the team.
