2019 Results

The results of SATs do not always reflect an accurate and full picture, particularly in a small school, with very varied numbers in each year group.  For example, currently we have 20 children in Year 5 but only 4 in Year 6.  Each individual child's weighting towards the percentage can differ greatly.

Results do not show the progress children have made from entry, for example.  They do not show the amount of children who have special educational needs and may not fully access the tests.  They do not show the children who may have had some emotional challenges to overcome or the support that has been given to them to help them.  SATs results are just a small part of the overall teaching, assessment and pastoral care that children receive at Lowther.  We, like all schools, always strive to improve our results but mostly we strive to improve each child's own ability, interests and mental and physical well-being, from entry at 4 until they leave us, ready for the next part of their learning journey.  We put the children at the centre of their education here, rather than testing. Please do look at some of our photographs including on Facebook which give a wider view on the broader curriculum that we teach at Lowther.
