    Update on provisional school exam results 2025

    Report of the Chief Executive Officer, Camden Learning.

     

    This report provides the committee with an early sight of the provisional school exam outcomes for the 2024-25 academic year for maintained schools in Camden. This includes Early Years, the Year 1 Phonics check, Key Stages 2, 4 and 5. Three-year trends against national averages are given where known.

     

    These outcomes are provisional, with final validated outcomes released later in the year. Because of this there is limited analysis on the performance of groups within headline data sets. This will be presented in detail, along with local and national comparators to the scrutiny committee in February 2026 when national validated data sets are released.

     

    This data set does not include end of Key Stage 1 (KS1) results as these are now non statutory, nor 2025 Key Stage 2 (KS2) progress scores as these are not available nationally due to the lack of KS1 outcomes in 2021. Progress 8 scores are also not available due to the absence of KS2 outcomes in 2020 that would be used as a baseline for this measure.
