The best performing primary schools in Merton in the Key Stage 2 tests have been revealed.
Primary school league tables are out for 2018 with schools ranked by what percentage of its students are meeting the expected standard.
The expected standard is based on a series of national curriculum tests at the end of Key Stage 2 which take place for mathematics, reading and writing.
A student’s raw score is then scaled because despite tests being developed each year to the same specification, the questions are different and the difficulty varies.
Once a score is scaled it will fall somewhere in between 80 (the lowest score) and 120 (the highest score).
Students scoring at least a scaled score of 100 will have met the expected standard of the test with a score of 99 or below meaning the student has not met the expected standard.
The Government has now published the results, ranking the schools by the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard.
Based on the rankings, it was Hollymount School in Wimbledon that came out on top for the second year in a row.
The school saw 92 per cent of its pupils meet the expected standard, with Bishop Giplin CofE Primary School and Wimbledon Park Primary School making up the top three with scores of 88 per cent.
Hollymount School head teacher Sam Birnage took up his new role in September and couldn't be happier.
"We are very proud of the results," he said.
"It is a result of hard work and dedication from all members of staff.
"But it is important to remember that it isn't all about league tables but the experience we can give students at Hollymount."
Prior to Mr Birnage's appointment, Philippa Jackson had been the head teacher at the school for 11 years, including when the school topped the rankings last year.
Mr Birnage said he had some big shoes to fill.
