Performance & Assessment
The exam and assessment results for 2019/20 or 2020/21 weren’t published as performance measures due to Covid-19. It is a requirement that we continue to publish the 2018/19 measures for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 until new ones are published but these aren’t current. The school performance measures in these tables compare the progress of pupils at Southgate School against the expected progress for all pupils of that age. This information can be accessed on the following link:

In 2021-22 our pupils took part in the widest range of primary statutory assessments and KS4 accreditations we have ever offered!
End of Key Stage Assessments
The majority of our Year 2 and Year 6 pupils were assessed using the Engagement Model or Pre-Key Stage Standards. We had one pupil who was entered the Year 6 SATS and achieved the required standard in Reading!
Multiplication Tables Check
The majority of our Year 4 pupils are not working at the level to access the MTC but 3 of our pupils did undertake the check and scored 10, 19 and 23!
Phonics Screening
The majority of our Year 1 & 2 pupils are not working at the level to access the PS but 1 pupil was screed and achieved the Working At standard by scoring 44!
Key Stage 4 Accreditations
We were able to offer the widest range of accreditations ever at Southgate in 2021-22. We aim for all our Year 11 pupils to leave us with an appropriately challenging accreditation for them. We also offer accreditations to our pupils in Year 10 so that they can go on to attempt higher level accreditations in Year 11. We are very proud of all of our pupils because worked incredibly hard.
Here is what they achieved:
- 8 pupils achieved their ASDAN qualification
- 14 pupils achieved Step Up to English Entry Level (Level 1 or 2)
- 3 pupils achieved Functional Skill Level 1 in English
- 17 pupils achieved Entry Level Certificate in Maths (Level 1, 2 or 3)
- 2 pupils achieved Functional Skill Level 1 in Maths
- 1 pupil achieved Grade 2 in GCSE Maths (Foundation)
- Internal Assessment of Pupil Progress
Teachers continuously monitor the progress pupils make to inform their teaching and planning. We formally assess the progress pupils are making each term to identify and plan for any priority pupils who are not making the progress we would expect. This is also analysed each term to identify any areas for development across the school.
At the end of 2021-22, a review of the assessment data shows that all pupils at Southgate made progress in 2021-22. When comparing this progress to their expected progress, 91.25% of pupils made expected or above expected progress and 15.63% of pupils made above expected progress. This is a significant improvement from our 2020-21 data and the December 2021 data, where we saw the significant impact of Covid-19 on the progress pupils made. This demonstrates the accelerated progress that pupils made over the year towards their targets. Further analysis of this 2021-22 end of year data can be found here.
The range of accreditations that we offer our pupils in Key Stage 4 allows us to ensure that all pupils can access an accreditation that is challenging and appropriate for them.
We offer:
- ASDAN
- Entry Level in English and Maths
- Functional Skills in English and Maths
- DofE
- Arts Award Bronze and Silver
Based collaborative discussions with pupils and their families we can sometimes offer a GCSE in a particular area of strength for a pupil. We also work with external providers such as Elite to broaden our accreditation offer to include BTECs, for example in Motor Mechanics or construction.
