No staff at Long Crendon School meet this criteria.
Attainment Targets
When children begin the school year they are all working towards the same curriculum standards for their year group. As the year commences, the teachers will be able to assess whether the children are meeting the expected level for those standards, working at greater depth within the standards or have partially understood and so are still working towards them. In reporting attainment we now use the terminology ‘working towards’, ‘expected’ or ‘greater depth’. All children are striving to meet the expected level by the end of their academic year. On starting the next academic year they will all be working towards standards again as they are faced with a new set of curriculum standards for their year group.
Long Crendon School Performance
Long Crendon School consistently achieves a higher percentage of children attaining the expected level than Buckinghamshire and England in Reading, Writing and Maths. See this link for the most Key Stage 2 performance summary:

*: Scaled scores range from 80-120. Scores between 80 and 99 are graded "Working Towards the Expected Standard", scores between 100 and 109 are graded "Working at the Expected Standard" and between 110 and 120 are graded "Working at Greater Depth within the Standard". Only subjects with tests have scaled scores: Reading, Maths and GPS.
