School Performance

Academic Year: 2024–2025

How to understand our results

At Kingsway Primary and Nursery School, we are proud of the strong outcomes our pupils achieve across each key stage. The information below shows how well pupils have attained in national statutory assessments during the 2024–2025 academic year.

Our results are in line with national outcomes and closely aligned with Trafford local authority performance, reflecting the high expectations we hold for every child. We are particularly proud that pupils at Kingsway consistently perform at or above national averages across most measures, with strong outcomes at both Expected Standard (EXS+)and Greater Depth (GDS).

Assessment information should always be viewed alongside the wider picture of school life, including:

  • children’s starting points
  • their personal development
  • wellbeing, attitudes to learning and enrichment opportunities

 

Together, these outcomes demonstrate our commitment to high-quality teaching, inclusive adaptive practice, and strong pastoral care, ensuring every child is supported to succeed.
