Students at The British School of Nanjing are subject to the same examination schemes as any child in Britain, allowing us to clearly benchmark our school against other children in England. Since our inception students have regularly performed extremely well, and on average 85% of our students are on or above the expected requirements of the English National Curriculum.

The standardised tests which aim to measure the performance of all pupils following the National Curriculum show the level of attainment in reading, writing, numeracy and science. The British School of Nanjing administers SATs at the end of each academic year to all it's students from Year 2 upwards. The tests aim to guage the level of attainment of each student against UK established standards. The exams are set externally and independently, so all schools in England do the same test.

Students from Year 2 to Year 6 recently sat the SAT exams which are designed to benchmark their levels in the core subjects of English and Maths against UK and International standards. We are delighted to report the following:
Numeracy: Our results are very good in this area of the curriculum with 90% of our students performing at or above the expectations of the National Curriculum.
Reading: We are particularly proud of these excellent results, with 85% of our students achieving at the expected level or above. This indicates very good standards of English at BSN.
Writing: In many ways the most pleasing set of results with 79% of our students achieving at the expected level or above. These results are significantly higher than many successful British Schools. It is a very good achievement and rewards the hard work we have been doing to develop extended writing through the school this year.
