National Offer Day takes place every year, with parents in the UK finding out today (Tuesday) which primary school their children will be attending.
Here we take a look at the Department of Education's latest performance tables, published in December, which revealed the 2022-23 academic year’s SAT result in maths, reading and writing in North Kirklees’ primary schools.
SATs are Standard Assessment Tests administered by schools for pupils at the end of Year 6 to measure children’s educational achievements.
Here is the list of the top 18 primary schools in Dewsbury, Mirfield, Batley and Spen which have the highest percentage of pupils meeting the Department of Education’s ‘expected standard’.
Pupils are meeting the expected standard if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as ‘working at the expected standard’ or better in writing.
