Parent Power named the John Hellins the second highest-achieving school, out of 500 primary and 100 prep schools.
Head teacher, Jodie Matthews said: "We are really proud to be placed number two in this ranking and were obviously delighted with our Sats results.
"We strongly believe that this is not just down to our exceptional teaching and amazing children, but also the way in which we deliver our immersive curriculum, the importance we place upon our learning environments and the attention we give to removing any barriers to learning that our children may encounter.
"We are continually striving for improvement and never become complacent. Our children are encouraged to be the best they can be and we will always do what is the absolute best for them."
