Pupil Outcomes

At Essendon School, we measure the outcomes of our pupil's education in many ways, including their social, spiritual and moral development, as well as their academic performance.

The data published below is the most recent data available for our 2018-2019 Year 6 cohort. The 2019-2020 cohort did not sit national tests due to the coronavirus pandemic.
