Year 6 SATs Results - Congratulations CCJ!

We are delighted to share that our Year 6 children have performed exceptionally well in this year’s National Curriculum Tests for 11 year olds. The results were published on Tuesday 5th July and are currently unvalidated at this point.

Each test has a different number of questions and marks available and the results are converted to a scaled score. It is this scaled score that is reported to Year 6 parents and is used nationally to see how well a school has performed. The scaled score gives an indication of how children have achieved against the nationally expected standard. A score of 100 represents the expected standard (EXS). Scores of 110 or above indicate pupils are working at ‘Greater Depth.’ (GDS) Scores below 100 indicate that children have not yet met the expected standard for their age. (WTS) The highest score a child can achieve is 120, with 80 being the lowest.

At Cheam Common Junior Academy, our children have met and exceeded the national standards in huge numbers. We are exceptionally proud of how well they have done this year; their results indicate that the vast majority of them are very well prepared for secondary school. They should be congratulated on their achievements. You can see our full results below and how we compare to the new national averages.

Well done Year 6. We are exceptionally proud of you and recognise your hard work and perseverance not only this year but throughout your time at Cheam Common. Thank you to all of the teachers and parents for your ongoing support for the children.

Staffing Updates for September at CCJ!

We are very pleased that our teaching staff is extremely stable for next year, however, as always at this time of year, some members of our current team will be moving roles within LEO Academy Trust.

From September, Mr Perrott will be moving into a central role for the Trust as Director of English, where he will work across all schools in LEO to support the teaching and learning of English. During his 6 years at Cheam Common, Mr Perrott has been invaluable in supporting the school on its journey to become the successful learning community that it is. We are extremely proud of all Mr Perrott’s accomplishments over the years and wish him all the best in his new role, where we look forward to working together in future endeavours.

Mrs Townsend will be taking up the position of Principal at Cheam Common Infants from September, where she will continue to lead the excellent work put in place by Miss Thorndycraft. Across many schools within the Trust, Mrs Townsend has led inclusion in her role as Vice Principal outstandingly, supporting children to achieve their full potential. We are very proud of all she has achieved during her time with us and we look forward to continuing working in partnership together.

Miss Hendra will be moving to Shawley Community Primary School to continue her role as a Sports’ Coach next year. We thank Miss Hendra for all the work she has done at Cheam Common this year both in PE lessons and through our extra curricular clubs and sporting fixtures. We know she will continue to provide amazing opportunities for children and has a great career ahead of her in LEO.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs Judge and Miss Harland as they prepare for their upcoming maternity leave. During their time at Cheam Common, Mrs Judge and Miss Harland have taught across the school outstandingly. Miss Harland will be taking maternity leave at the start of September, whilst Mrs Judge will be taking hers from October. During the initial start of the year, Mrs Judge will be supporting teaching and learning across the school as our PPA cover teacher. We wish them both all the best for their new arrivals and we hope you join us in sending our congratulations.
