State primary school heads have explained the background to pupils' outstanding results in the national Year 6 tests.

At Clore Shalom in Hertfordshire, head Sheree Oxenham was "ecstatic" that all its 11-year-olds had reached the Department of Education's target Level 4 score in maths, reading and writing in the Key Stage 2 tests.

"It is fantastic news and our teachers have put in a great effort to get us up from the 97 per cent we had last year," she said. "We've done a lot of work on pupils by teaching them to be independent learners and critical thinkers.

"Teachers have put in a great amount of effort and the curriculum is fun and enjoyable."
