The best performing primary schools in Croydon in the Key Stage 2 tests have been revealed.
Primary school league tables are now out for 2017 with schools ranked by what percentage of its students are meeting the expected standard.
The expected standard is based on a series of national curriculum tests at the end of Key Stage 2 which take place for mathematics, English reading and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
A student's raw score is then scaled because despite tests being developed each year to the same specification, the questions are different and the difficulty of tests may vary.
Once a score is scaled it will fall somewhere in between 80 (the lowest score) and 120 (the highest score).
Students scoring at least a scaled score of 100 will have met the expected standard of the test with a score of 99 or below meaning the student has not met the expected standard.
The Government has now published the results, ranking schools by the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard.
Based on those rankings it was Beaumont Primary School that came out on top.
The school saw 93 per cent of its students meet the expected standard, with both Oasis Academy Byron and St Cyprian's Greek Orthodox Primary Academy not far behind, scoring 92 per cent.
The other two Oasis primary schools in Croydon finished 12th and 22nd with each school's principal excited about the results.
Principal of Oasis Academy Byron, Clare Wingrave said: “We are delighted with the pupils’ results again this year.
"At Byron every child, regardless of background or starting point, is given the opportunities that they deserve to make exceptional progress.”
