At Locking Stumps Primary School our priority is to develop well rounded children who have the best possible start in life, both socially and academically. As a school we endevour for our children to make as much academic progress as possbile and their results in the statutory tests are important to us. As a school we regularly perform at or above the National Averages. There are some occasions where we have performed below the National Averages. When this occurs, we continue to work very hard as a school to ensure that our outcomes are more positive. However, this is never to the detriment of our children or our curriculum offer. We offer a vibrant curriculum with excellent breadth and variety for the children to experience and learn. We do not 'narrow our curriculum'. We work very hard to ensure that the children achieve and show their true potential.
