School Performance
At the end of KS1 and KS2 (Year 2 and Year 6) children take part in national curriculum assessments to determine their levels of achievement against national expectations. Year 2 testing is optional from 2024 but were administered at Dundonald Primary School this year.
We are delighted with our results, especially since Dundonald Primary School is an inclusive school with children from a variety of backgrounds and special needs.
The results are a tribute to the hard work of the children and staff. Our results at both Key Stages continue to be above national averages.
Please note: The government did not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
