Key Stage 2 Assessment Results 2026 (Provisional)

Due to the changes in SATs in Key Stage 2, information is now very different to what has been
presented in the past. Levels have been removed and been replaced with an ‘Expected Standard’ to
meet. This standard is represented by children achieving 100+ on a scaled score. Pupils whose scaled
score is 110 or above are identified at working at a ‘Higher Standard’. A school will publish the
average scaled score in each subject to indicate the attainment of the group as a whole although
children will receive their individual scores.

The school is proud that the attainment of the children has continued to be in line with or above the national
averages across the various measures. However, we are most proud that the children access their SATs
without high levels of anxiety and with a confidence that they can simply do their best.

Our results are achieved in the context of accessing a full and enhanced curriculum which aims to
prepare children for their start at secondary school.

It is also essential to understand that many of the children across the country who may not have met
the national standard will likely have demonstrated significant progress, achieved through hard work
and dedication, often when there are significant challenges for them.

The provisional results below are what Oakfield Junior School achieved in 2026 and what the national
results are for comparison purposes.
