High Performing School Again

UJS is in the top seven per cent of schools in the country for maths value added, according to OFSTED figures based on our context. UJS also ranks in the top 15 per cent of schools nationally for children's progress overall in English mathematics and science.

This the third year running that we have had very good figures from OFSTED. Last year we were in the top 10 per cent for English. We are delighted that the OFSTED data credits the very good progress made by the children in their four years here. Once again, it is fitting recognition for all the hard work put in by staff and children, supported by their families.

OFSTED's progress measures are based on the progress made (contextual value added) by Y6 children who took SAT test last summer (2007) from their results when they were tested at the end of Year 2.
