Schools across Hertfordshire have been praised for their hard work after the Department for Education published the results for primary school performance this week.
The tables, which were published Thursday, December 11, show the number of Year 6 pupils taking SATs tests at each school, the average point score of each school and the percentage of pupils getting a level 4 - the average for the age group - and Level 5 - above average - in reading, writing and maths.
The Abbey Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School of St Albans had the highest percentage in the county of pupils achieving Level 5 in reading, writing and maths, with 83 per cent.
Chris Hayward, Cabinet Member for Education, said: "One of our main priorities at Hertfordshire County Council is to make sure children get a good start in life. These tables show that, once again, Hertfordshire's primary school pupils are among the best performing in the country at achieving Level 4 in reading, writing and maths. Congratulations to pupils and staff at schools across the county, who have worked hard to achieve such encouraging results."
