Department for Education
Many Parents are keen to see how we are performing in relation to other schools. The Department for Education (Dfe) Performance Tables provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil attainment and progress, absence, workforce and finance.
Current Exam & Assessment Data
The staff and pupils at St Leonard’s are delighted with the end of KS2 SATs results which saw a 91% of pupils achieve the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The progress scores were equally pleasing with +1.7% (average) in reading, +2% (average) in writing and +0.6 (average) in maths.
Historic Exam & Assessment Data
The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.
Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle
Every Catholic school of whatever kind is subject to a Diocesan Inspection. This inspection is required and regulated by canon law. Voluntary Aided (VA) Catholic schools are also subject to a statutory inspection of denominational education and collective worship under section 48 (S48) of the Education Act 2005. Catholic Academies are subject to a denominational inspection which is regulated by the Academy Funding Agreement for each academy.
For all Catholic VA schools and Academies, the Diocesan Inspection outcome and report will serve as either the S48 outcome and report in the case of a VA school, or as the inspection outcome and report required by the Academy Funding Agreement. In short, all Catholic schools of whatever kind will be subject to both S5 and Diocesan inspections.
Our most recent inspection was in March 2023 and can be accessed below:
