Executive head teacher Chris Jones said: “These figures are a real testament to the dedication of all of our children, staff, parents and governors. I’m especially delighted with this year’s results; they demonstrate that the hard work the children, staff, parents and governors have been putting in along their journeys at Bruche have really paid off.

“Every day our children and teachers go the extra mile, and to be improving year on year is a huge achievement for everyone. Coupled with our very positive Ofsted report last July and our high aspirations which are shared by our staff and governors, our children have really lived up to the school motto: 'Success, nothing less' this year."

Louise Smith, chief executive at WPAT, said: “We are delighted for Chris and the team at Bruche – everyone has played their part in these amazing results and they are to be congratulated for their tireless hard work to raise standards for all of our children and their families.”

Ofsted guidance when looking at tables and scores states: "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, which may be for a variety of reasons. Inspectors should be aware of this and, as with any inspection, carefully consider a range of information and data including the progress of current pupils in all year groups.'
