Statutory Assessment in 2019-2020

All statutory  assessments were cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

In January 2020 we were thrilled to receive a letter from the Minister of State for School Standards (Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP), congratulating staff and children on the very high level of progress that the children made in reading, writing and maths in the 2019 Key Stage 2 assessments. These  progress results place Valley Road amongst the top 3% of primary schools in the country. In the same month, we were also delighted to be named as Sunderland's best performing primary school, and the 7th best in the entire North East .

In 2018-19 we worked hard to maintain the great achievements of the previous Year 6 pupils.

The tests were, again, very challenging, but here at Valley Road, we managed to remain, again, above the national averages for all tests.

This was a great achievement and shows how talented our children are, and how lucky we are to have such dedicated successful pupils. We are all very proud of their success and they will be able to take these achievements  forward to their next stage in education. Well done.

Our challenge for the future is, as always, to build on what we have achieved this year  making sure our children leave our school ready for the challenges of Secondary school.
