PRIMARY school pupils continue to score top marks in their exams, as they prepare for entry into secondary school.

At least 84 per cent of ten and 11-year-olds in Redbridge's state primaries achieved the Level Four standard in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, significantly above the national average.

The number of pupils gaining a Level Five, which is above the expectation for their age group, was also higher than the national average, according to data released by the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
