How we measure

We assess every child when they start and through the year, so we know exactly where they're at and how far they've come.

Growth figures use KeyMath (maths), TOWRE (reading) and TWS (spelling), measured over one school year. 2026 figures use PAT Mathematics and PAT Reading Comprehension. "Before MSNZ" is estimated from students' starting levels. Our full Annual Report is published each year.
