 We are delighted with our results, they are a real testament to the hard work our staff and pupils put into teaching and learning at Houghton Primary School.

 

Early Years Foundation Stage

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children are assessed against a number of areas of learning, and to attain the GLD (Good Level of Development) they need to have achieved the expected standard in both literacy and maths, as well as the three prime areas of learning: personal, social, emotional development; physical development; communication and language.

We are delighted that 76% of our pupils attained “Good Level of Development.”
