Key Stage 2 performance

Thurstonland Endowed Voluntary Controlled First School is a first school for pupils aged 4–10. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.
