The best performing primary schools in Epsom and Ewell in the Key Stage 2 tests for 2017 have been revealed.

The Government has revealed how schools performed in a series of national curriculum tests at the end of Key Stage 2 which take place for mathematics, English reading and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

The schools can then be ranked according to what percentage of its students are meeting the expected standard.

Here are Epsom and Ewell schools ranked according to overall performance (not including independent or special schools) below:

The expected standard is based on a series of national curriculum tests at the end of Key Stage 2 which take place for mathematics, English reading and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

A student's raw score is then scaled because despite tests being developed each year to the same specification, the questions are different and the difficulty of tests may vary.

Once a score is scaled it will fall somewhere in between 80 (the lowest score) and 120 (the highest score).

Students scoring at least a scaled score of 100 will have met the expected standard of the test with a score of 99 or below meaning the student has not met the expected standard.

Nonsuch Primary School and St Peter’s Catholic Primary School were the best performers in Epsom and Ewell, with 90 per cent of their children meeting expected standards.

St Peter’s Catholic Primary School head teacher Richard McKenzie, said: “We have got highly focused, engaged children, they largely enjoy their learning.

“We have a strong culture of respect and care for each other which resonates through the school and excellent teachers and support staff.

“We are fortunate to have large grounds and woods, we are a forest school. We also have an amphitheatre and so learning can be outside for all classes.”
