Our children have made excellent progress academically across the year, but they have also achieved very well – notably in the statutory attainment tests in Reception, Year 1, Year 4 and Year 6 respectively.
These impressive test results have been achieved as a result of the strong teaching, from our team of teachers and learning support assistants, and our exciting curriculum across the school. Through the support and challenge for all children, we have ensured that they are ready and prepared for their next stage of education, especially those moving on to secondary school.
We send our Year 6 pupils off with pride and best wishes as they take their next steps on their school journey. They leave behind lasting memories and a legacy of pupil leadership for our younger children to follow. They have worked exceptionally hard this year, have shown resilience and demonstrated a determination to succeed. They should be incredibly proud of how much progress they have made and their collective SATs results.
Year 6 children take tests in Reading, Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling and Maths. These, alongside teacher assessments of English writing and science, provide vital information to parents about their child’s attainment, support the transition to Secondary Schools and identify where additional support is best targeted to individuals. Key Stage 2 SATs results can fluctuate year on year due to a number of key factors, including cohort special educational needs (SEND), number of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding and pupils joining the school late in Key Stage 2 from other UK schools or from abroad. In the last few years, we have seen a rising school roll, with increasing SEND needs and social, emotional and mental health needs, and an increasing number of pupils who are below age related expectations joining the school. As a school, we work hard on ensuring that our curriculum is effectively scaffolded for all pupils, providing support and challenge to all, and continuously developing our high teaching standards from new research and working closely with other local primary and secondary schools.
The school’s End of Key Stage 2 SATs results for 2025 were as follows.
These results have not just been made in Year 6. It is also important to thank all teaching staff at ECS. Most of our Year 6 children started their educational life at ECS in Reception and have moved through the year groups, learning and progressing each year. These figures are a celebration of a collective effort from all staff, both current and those who have left ECS in the last few years.

Our Year 6 children move on to several state and independent Secondary Schools, with an approximate 60:40 split between the maintained and private sector education systems. Ninety percent of our families who applied to independent sector schools were successful in their first choice school application last year. Many of our children who are moving on to independent secondary schools do so with full or part scholarships in academia, sports and music.
Our Year 6s move on to a number of Secondary schools, including:
– City of Freemans
– Claremont Fan Court
– Cobham Free School
– Epsom College
– Esher High School
– Guildford High School
– Hinchley Wood School
– Reed’s School
– Royal Grammar School
– Surbiton High School
– Tiffin Girls’ School
– Tiffin School
– Tormead School
These SATs results have not just been made in Year 6. Most of our Year 6 children started their educational life at ECS in Reception and have moved through the year groups, learning and progressing each year. These results are a celebration of the strong teaching and exciting curriculum across the school, ensuring that all Year 6 children are ready and prepared for their next stage in education in Secondary school.
