100 per cent success for Simon Marks in SATS

Its headteacher Gulcan Metin said, “We are really proud of our Year 6 outcomes in all subject areas. Our pupils are more than ready for their next stage in education.”

Perhaps the most striking figure is that in 27 of the 39 Jewish state primary schools, 70 per cent or more of pupils achieved the expected standard — well above the national average in the country of 61 per cent.

In six schools, including Simon Marks, 20 per cent or more of pupils achieved the higher level for reading, writing and maths.

At both Simon Marks and Beit Shvidler in Edgware, pupils on average received a higher-level mark (110 or above) for both maths and reading.

Pupils at Menorah Foundation in Edgware and Hasmonean in Hendon achieved on average a higher-level mark for reading, while those at the Independent Jewish Day School in Hendon did so for maths.

The SATS scores were published earlier this month by the Department for Education, which advised parents: “School performance data should be considered alongside a range of other information about the school, which could include looking at school websites, reading Ofsted reports, and speaking to the school directly. Conclusions should not be drawn on a single piece of data alone.”
