Assessment, Achievement and Awards
Performance Table
The following attachment lists our end of year Key Stage 1 and 2 SATs results. The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from the year may no longer reflect current performance.
Eco-Schools
Eco-Schools is an environmental education programme and is managed in England by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, the anti-litter campaign for England. Eco-Schools England has the most Eco-Schools in the world, with 70% of all schools in England currently registered with the programme (that’s just shy of 17,000 schools).
The Eco-Schools International Programme was developed by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) http://www.fee.global/ as a response to some of the needs identified at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development.
The Programme’s official start was in 1994, with support of Denmark, Germany, Greece and the United Kingdom.
Eco-Schools is now run in 53 countries around the world, linking more than 40,000 schools – from the UK to France and from Morocco to South Africa.
Green Flag
At Little Kingshill Combined School, we have continued to work tirelessly towards our eco goals and the pupils become more engaged every year. We have been part of the scheme since 2010, and have worked through the awards, from bronze to green. As a school we have now successfully been awarded a Green Flag six times.
As part of our work, we have developed the school grounds, creating an environmental garden and growing spaces for flowers and vegetables. Other areas of focus have been energy, reducing our carbon footprint by installing UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout the whole school as well as solar panels.
We were amongst the first to be involved in Solar Schools, helping to put clean energy into classrooms all over the country, and raised £15,000 to install solar panel onto the hall roof.

Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA)
As part of our ongoing work on the ‘Rights Respecting School Award’, we aim to be a school that puts children’s rights at the heart of school life. This helps to ensure that we create a safe and inspiring place to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. We use the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as our guide and regularly cover different children’s rights (e.g. ‘The right to education’ and ‘The right to play’) in our weekly assemblies. We emphasise that these rights are for all children and seek to support children in our country and around the world where those rights may not be met (e.g. raising money for Children in Need ensures that we are supporting children in their ‘right to health and health services’ and their ‘right to education’).
Our school council also work hard across the school to ensure we are meeting children’s rights. They speak to them to hear their thoughts and come up with ways to develop the school further (ensuring that we are upholding their ‘right to be heard’). Two years ago (2022-23), we achieved a Bronze Award for our work done in school. Last year (2023-24), we achieved our Silver Award, recognising how we had embedded these rights across the school.
