Performance Measures
Year 6 SATs – 2026 Results
We are immensely proud of our Year 6 pupils for their outstanding achievements in the 2025-26 SATs, which represent the strongest results in Mayhill Junior School’s history. Every child made remarkable progress from their individual starting points, demonstrating phenomenal growth, determination and resilience throughout their time with us. Their success is a testament to their hard work, positive attitudes and unwavering commitment to learning. These exceptional outcomes reflect not only the dedication of our pupils but also the impact of high-quality teaching and support across the school. As a cohort, they have consistently embodied the Habits we value so highly, showing independence, collaboration, critical thinking and perseverance. We could not be prouder of every single child and all they have achieved. They leave Mayhill as a truly exceptional cohort and wonderful ambassadors for our school.
* Understanding Scaled Scores in School Tests
When your child takes a national test, they receive a raw score—this is simply the number of questions they answered correctly. However, because test papers vary slightly in difficulty each year, these raw scores are converted into scaled scores to make results fair and consistent over time.
Scaled scores allow us to compare pupil performance from one year to the next, even though the questions change annually. For example, a scaled score of 103 in 2026 reflects the same level of achievement as a score of 103 in 2025.
A scaled score of 100 always represents the expected standard. If your child scores 100 or above, it means they’ve met the national benchmark for that subject.
Junior schools
We know from national data that pupils at junior schools, on average, have higher attainment scores at the end of key stage 2 than pupils at all other primary schools. However, on average, they also have lower progress scores. This may be for a variety of reasons and should be taken into account when comparing their results to schools which start educating their pupils from the beginning of key stage 1.
