AVERAGE POINT SCORE 27.5

Looks pretty good but I really wouldn't base your choice on these scores. You need to go to the school and have a look around, get a feel for it. I worked at a school where the SATS results were low but it was a brilliant school with a fantastic head.

the feel of the school was quite good, but what does level 4 and 5 actually meaN? is it like a c and D with level 1 being a A?

Level 4 is the level of the Government target they're all supposed to reach, Level 5 is as good a result as you can obtain.

How do you feel about the size of the school? 12 pupils in a year seems very small - that may have implications over a small pool of potential friends and there may be mixed-year classes. Not necessarily a bad thing, but worth taking into account.

Lots of info here

Results are good, as mentioned 12 children in a cohort is small but this can have plus's and minus's.

The "feel" of the school would def be the decider for me. If you haven't already, take your child round to view the school whilst children are in and being taught...can get a much better idea.

Ask about their out of hours activities/clubs etc.

All the best with your choice.

seems the school has the sats tests covered and are doing well in that area.
It is only a test result though I wouldn't judge a school on it .

Some schools can give too much emphasis to sats imo.

I would think carefully about such a small school aswell.
