Primary school pupils in Hammersmith & Fulham have done the borough proud in English and maths this year according to the latest results.
Results of the new tests in English and maths for seven to 11-year-olds, brought in by the government this summer, showed pupils have achieved well compared to other London boroughs and national averages.
“Congratulations to everyone who has received their results,” said Cllr Sue Macmillan, H&F Cabinet Member for Children and Young People.
“We know pupils and teachers really work well together, helping children reach their potential across all subjects. These results are a good reflection of the excellent results they achieve in English and maths.
“This is why we are determined to protect funding to H&F's schools, as it is making a huge and positive difference.”
