Key Stage 2 2022 measures

The government is not formally publishing KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year because they recognise that Covid impacted on all schools differently. However, at Dennington we are proud of what we achieved despite the challenges and our key results are displayed below.

Key Stage 2 2019 measures

During the academic year 2018-2019 (the last formal SATs year prior to Covid), the combined Key Stage 2 score of 83.3% was well above the national average. This placed Dennington 13^th out of the 307 schools in Suffolk.
