Congratulations to our Federation school, Compton Primary who have received a letter from the Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP, the Minister of State for School Standards to congratulate them on their very high standards in the Key Stage 2 mathematics assessments last year. Compton is in the top 2% of primary schools in the country, with 100 percent of its pupils having reached or exceeded the expected standard in mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2.  

Alison McDonald, Director of Primaries for The Downland Federation said: “We are thrilled to receive this letter. We are delighted that our practical approach to teaching maths which ensures that our children have a solid foundation on which to build on is really paying off.”

Well done to the leadership team and teaching staff at Compton on this fantastic achievement, which is testament to the hard work that happens on a daily basis in the classroom.
