Attainment and Progress Data
The national curriculum is organised into blocks of years called ‘Key Stages’ (KS). At Wallington Primary Academy we have three Key Stages: Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for Nursery and Reception; KS1 for Years 1 and 2; and KS2 for Years 3 to 6.
At the end of a key stage, the teacher will formally assess each child’s performance. In KS1 and KS2 these assessments are informally referred to as ‘SATs’. KS2 assessments take place in May and are more formal in format than in KS1. The tests are taken in Year 6 and cover the core subjects, English and mathematics.
The results of your child’s end of year key stage assessments will be sent home to parents by the end of the summer term.
From September 2023 KS1 SATs will now be optional in all schools. A new baseline assessment for Reception pupils was introduced in September 2021 and KS2 SATs (in Year 6) will not be affected.
Achievement and Attainment Data 2022-23
Historical achievement and attainment:
The Department of Education stipulated that schools are not required to publish their assessment results from 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years as these have not been published as performance measures by the Secretary of State as SATs were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cancellation of 2019/20 national curriculum assessments:
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic the 2019/20 national curriculum assessments did not take place
This means the following assessments between April and July 2020 were cancelled:
- end of key stage 1 and key stage 2 assessments (including tests and teacher assessment)
- phonics screening check
- multiplication tables check
- science sampling tests
- all statutory trialling
Primary school performance measures will not be published for the 2019/20 academic year

National attainment data
Nationally, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in all of reading, writing and maths (combined) in 2019, up from 64% in 2018.
Attainment in all of reading, writing and maths (combined) is not directly comparable to earlier years (2016 and 2017) because of changes to writing TA frameworks in 2017.
To reach the expected standard in all of reading, writing and maths, a pupil must achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in reading and maths tests and an outcome of ‘reaching the expected standard’ or ‘working at greater depth’ in writing TA.
In writing TA, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in 2019, unchanged from 2018.
Changes made within the 2017/18 writing TA frameworks mean judgements are not directly comparable to those made using the previous interim frameworks in 2016 and 2017.
To reach the expected standard in writing TA, a pupil must achieve an outcome of ‘reaching the expected standard’ or ‘working at greater depth’.
In reading, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in 2019, down by 2 percentage points from 2018.
In maths, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard, up by 3 percentage points from 2018.
In GPS, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard, unchanged from 2018.
To reach the expected standard in each test subject, a pupil must achieve a scaled score of 100 or more.
All percentage point differences are calculated using unrounded figures.
