There are no progress figures for 2025. That year group missed their Year 2 tests during Covid, so there was no starting point to measure from. Progress figures come back with the December 2026 results. Tests were cancelled altogether in 2020 and 2021.

† These results are for Kewstoke Primary School, the school this one replaced in October 2025. Same building and the same children. It got a new registration number, usually because it joined an academy trust.
