EYFS
Achievement in the EYFS is measured through the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) and pupils who have met the ELG in the prime areas of learning (personal, social and emotional development; physical development and communication and language) as well as the specific areas of literacy and mathematics are judged to have attained a good level of development (GLD).
The chart below shows the proportion of Reception pupils who achieved GLD at Audlem, together with the local and national comparison.

KS2 Attainment
Children in year 6 take externally marked tests in Reading, Maths and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS). Those children who meet all the criteria are deemed to be working at the national standard. Further to this, a proportion of children are deemed to be working above the national standard. They are also teacher assessed in Writing.
