This year’s exams have also been marked differently; before a child was given a level based on their performance. Now their papers are given a ‘scaled score’ - the number of correct answers against the number of questions asked.
Twelve schools in Portsmouth saw half or more of their students achieve the expected standards in reading, writing and maths.
Gatcombe Park Primary came out as the city’s best achievers as 79 per cent of its students met the expected targets.

St John’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School celebrated after it saw 77 per cent of its students meet the expected standards – despite dropping from 83 per cent in 2015.
