First school

Ages 2–9

Key Stage 2 performance

Adderlane Academy is a first school for pupils aged 2–9. 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.

Every child who put Adderlane Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.
