The figures, labelled “overall performance at end of key stage 2” by the DfE are based on the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard as well as the percentage of pupils achieving at a higher standard.
The DfE defines a pupil as meeting the expected level if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as ‘working at the expected standard’ or better in writing.
Pupils’ average scores in reading and maths were also documented.
