Academic Excellence

Academic Excellence at RPS

At RPS, academic success isn’t just a goal—it’s part of who we are. From Foundation Stage through to Year 6, our children flourish in a nurturing environment where high expectations, expert teaching, and personalised support go hand in hand.

Every child is encouraged to explore their strengths, embrace challenges, and celebrate their progress. While we’re proud of the strong academic outcomes our pupils achieve, it’s the confidence, curiosity, and lifelong love of learning they develop that truly sets them apart.

Below, you’ll find a snapshot of the exceptional progress our children are making.

Early Years (FS1 & FS2)

Our youngest learners begin their journey in an inspiring, nurturing environment where strong foundations are laid for long-term academic success. We consistently see outstanding levels of development in literacy, numeracy and social-emotional growth, assessed through continuous observation and the EYFS Profile at the end of FS2.

90% of pupils achieved a Good Level of Development (GLD)
78% of pupils exceed the GLD
UK national average: approximately XXX%

Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2)

Building on a strong EYFS foundation, our Key Stage 1 pupils demonstrate excellent progress in reading, writing and mathematics year after year. Through targeted internal assessments and the New Group Reading Test (NGRT), we ensure every child remains on track and is supported to exceed expectations.

88% of pupils in Year 2 achieved or exceeded age-related expectations in English and Maths
84% of Year 2 pupils reading at or above chronological age

Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6)

As pupils grow in independence and curiosity, we continue to see impressive progress in English, Maths and Science across Key Stage 2. Using internationally benchmarked tools like GL Progress Tests and CAT4, our teachers track attainment and potential with precision—ensuring each pupil is supported and stretched.

XXX% of pupils scored at or above average in English
