Primary School Assessment Results

Record Results in 2009!

I am delighted to report that the vast majority of pupils obtained strong results in 2008-09 and achieved the best ever set of results at the end of Key Stage 1 (age 7) and at GCSE (age 16). These are record results for our school and strengthen its official status as an 'Outstanding' and 'High Performing School'.

I thank staff and parents for their combined efforts and congratulate pupils upon their successes. Well done everyone!

Here are our results for 2009. Please note that some of the national results are for 2008 because we have yet to receive the official 2009 results. However, the national 2008 and 2009 results will be very similar, which means that comparisons between BSM's and the national results can be relied upon.

Key Stage 1 (age 7) Results

The expected standard of attainment at the end of Key Stage 1 is Level 2C. The table shows the percentage of pupils who achieved at or beyond each level compared to the national averages for England.

Congratulations!

HEAD OF PRIMARY SCHOOL

Welcome to the Primary School

Whether you are visiting our website as prospective parents, existing parents and pupils or relatives wishing to keep up to date with events at school I hope that you find our website informative and that you gain an insight into life in the Primary section of the British School.

The School has an excellent reputation throughout the Middle East for achieving outstanding academic results alongside excellent pastoral care within a broad and balanced curriculum. As Head of the Primary School since 2003 I have had the priviledge of working with extremely talented teachers and assistants. Together we are committed to providing every pupil with an education which will recognise their strengths, challenge and inspire them.
