Beaumont Primary School achieved extraordinary success in this year's Key Stage 2 results, said headteacher, Stacey Postle who added that school leaders are ‘bursting with pride’.

A brilliant 97 per cent of pupils have not only met but exceeded the expected standards in mathematics and 52 per cent of these pupils were working at a greater depth, demonstrating a deeper understanding of the subject.

The average scale score of 109 places them among the brightest young minds in the country.

Reading results show children are above average with 94 per cent achieving the expected standard or higher and writing results show they are reaching average results.
