The best schools in Bexley based on this year's Key Stage 2 results have been revealed.

The Department for Education (DfE) has published 2018's results, with St Paulinus Church of England Primary School being the best performer in the borough.

The average percentage of students in Bexley who achieved the expected standard was 70 per cent compared to an average of 64 per cent nationally.

This is up from the 61 per cent of pupils who met the standard last year across England.

The tests were taken in the summer term by Year 6 pupils who will have since moved on to secondary school.

The expected standard is based on a series of national curriculum tests at the end of Key Stage 2 which take place for mathematics, English reading and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.

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 of tests may vary.

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.
