Pupils Outstripping National Targets
2024 Results
As a Trust we passionately believe that children should be given the very best start when they join our schools in Reception year.
We are delighted therefore that recent figures released by Government show that the percentage of children reaching a Good Level of Development (GLD) at the end of Reception is far exceeding national targets.
Our children build on this excellent foundation in Year R to far exceed national pass rates in the Phonics Screening Check at the end of Year One.
In Year 4 our children work hard to develop their times tables knowledge to help support more complex maths concepts such as fractions, ratio and percentages. In 2024 our exceptional outcomes were 37% above national.
We have always pursued the very best opportunities and highest outcomes for our children. Attainment in early years is consistently higher than average, children leave Year One as highly confident readers, and typically go on to make excellent above average progress throughout Key Stage One also, achieving at both age expected and greater depth levels.
Recent Year One Phonics screening performance was exceptional in all schools evidencing happy, confident early readers all round. We are rightly celebrating this achievement; proud not only of the children who worked so incredibly hard to reach this milestone, but also of their families, carers and of course, the highly skilled and creative teaching and leadership staff, who made it happen.
The second attainment statistics we have seen since 2019 – assessments were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic – this data relates to year 6 pupils who took assessments in summer 2023.
The percentage of children achieving the Higher Standard in Reading, Writing and Maths is nearly three times national levels and reflects the exceptional curriculum experiences we offer and our commitment to delivering the highest academic outcomes.
“Pupils love attending Holne Chase Primary. The school’s bright and welcoming environment is carefully considered to capture pupils’ interests. A deep moral purpose underpins all that happens at this school. Adults are passionate that all pupils receive high-quality provision that gives them the skills they need for the future”

Thanks are due not only to the children but also to staff, parents and carers who – as one big team – make these exceptional results happen.
The percentage of children reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is significantly higher in the Trust’s Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes schools than nationally.
Our children consistently achieve exceptional outcomes across our schools.
This is a vibrant school. There is a real buzz about the place. Pupils enjoy their learning and are proud of their school. They say: ‘Everybody is together. We are like one big family.’
