PUPILS at Greatham Primary School are celebrating this week after being ranked 23rd out of 280 schools across the county in new league tables.
But hovering at the other end of the table is Headley's Holme Primary School, which performed well below the LEA average.
The performance tables published last week show the results of the key stage two tests taken by 11 year olds in primary and junior schools.
In Greatham 93 per cent of pupils tested were at or above the expected level four for English. And in maths and science the news was even better with 97 per cent of pupils making the grade, giving the school and aggregate of 287 from a possible 300.
In Headley only 38 per cent of pupils tested achieved the expected level or above in English, 33 per cent in maths and 50 per cent in science, giving the school an aggregate of just 121 - half the LEA average.
But Holme headteacher Jenny Butterworth said: "Parents who look around the school like what they see. There's more to primary education than a test at the end of year six."
She agreed the tests were a good thing in principle but added: "I would be much happier without them.
"They're very restrictive because there's such a drive to teach to the tests and we try to avoid that."
Liphook Junior School was ranked 105th, with an aggregate of 262.
The school achieved a score of 87 per cent in English, 81 per cent in maths and 95 per cent in science.
Grayshott came 117th, with an aggregate of 258.
The school achieved a score of 87 per cent in English, 81 per cent in maths and 90 per cent in science.
