Attainment and progress

Key Stage 2 national curriculum test results 2023- 2024

In 2016, new tests were introduced to assess pupils’ Reading, Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation and Mathematics, against the more challenging national curriculum. These tests do not use ‘levels’ but ‘scaled scores’ to show how well pupils have achieved. The scaled score can be as low as 80 or as high as 120.

The DfE use information from test trials to set the scaled scores. If a child has reached the scaled score ‘100’, then s/he has met the ‘expected’ standard. If a child has reached the scaled score ‘110’, then s/he has a ‘high scaled score’.

*There is no data for 2020 or 2021 due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of tests and KS1 assessments.
