Early Years Foundation Stage Figures 

At Barlaston we are proud of every child in our school! Therefore, I am pleased to share our results against the national average that reflects all the amazing and hard work of all our children and staff. 

*Please note*  

There is no data for 2019 and 2020 due to COVID-19. 

Major reforms to the Early Years curriculum took place that came into effect in September 2021 therefore data prior to this does not show a true comparison of results.
