All state primary schools in England where 100% of pupils are meeting government performance standards

• Primary school performance is often ranked by how many pupils meet a certain level in literacy and numeracy skills
• Last year, a little over 50 schools had all of their pupils tested hit this target
• They range from tiny village schools to larger city or town schools
• All of England’s regions were represented by at least a few high-achieving local schools

Primary schools have a critical job.

They are tasked with setting their young charges up with many of the social, emotional, and academic skills they will need to succeed throughout the rest of their time in education - and in the years beyond.

The Government released its performance figures for state funded primary schools in the 2023/24 school year back in December, highlighting just how successful schools across England’s regions have been at instilling their pupils with some of these basics. The key figure these performance rankings are typically based on is the percentage of each school’s pupils who completed Year 6 that year, and met the Government’s expected standards in tests or teacher assessments designed to measure three essential school skills: reading, writing and maths.

We’ve used this data to take a look at the state primary schools across the country that achieved the ultimate goal - having 100% of their pupils meet this important target. It’s an outstanding achievement for any school community, with just over 50 schools claiming this accolade in the most recent academic year.

While many of these schools were smaller, village schools with fewer students to get across the goalposts, some larger city town or city schools also made the list - including one with a class size of more than 130 Year 6 pupils. It is worth noting that some very small schools are also excluded from the official data, to protect the privacy of pupils.
