Pretty Beach Public School has produced "excellent results" in the recent Basic Skills Test, according to school principal Ms Vicki Redrup.

"Sixty-seven per cent of our Year 3 children were in Bands 4 and 5 in overall literacy compared to 42 per cent of the state.

"In numeracy, we had 66 per cent of Year 3 students in Band 4 and 5 compared to 48 per cent of the state.

"Our Year 5 students also performed extremely well in overall literacy with 67 per cent of children in Band 5 and 6 compared with 50 per cent of the state and, in overall numeracy, 73 per cent of our students were in Bands 5 and 6 compared to 56 per cent of the state in the same bands.

"It is a great credit to the teaching and learning programs within the school to achieve these great results."
