Now that we’ve reached the end of the school year, we’d like to share with you some facts and figures about how well the Year 2 class have performed over the course of Key Stage 1. To help make sense of the data, please bear in mind the following points:
- We’ve included the equivalent data for all schools in England for last year
- Level 2 is the expected level; more precisely, a Level 2b
- All figures relate to percentages
- ‘W’ refers to ‘working towards’ – where a child’s attainment falls below Level 1
- ‘Disapplied’ refers to children who are not counted for some reason
- The subjects listed below are the core subjects’

Disadvantaged pupils
In the cohort are three pupils who are entitled to pupil premium funding. Here’s how they got on:
- Reading: all three pupils attained Level 2b
- Writing: one pupil attained Level 2c and two pupils reached Level 2a
- Maths: two pupils attained Level 2b and the third attained Level 2a
- Speaking and listening: two pupils attained Level 2 and the third attained Level 1
- Science: similarly, two pupils attained Level 2 and the third attained Level 1
As a summary, the pupils’ attainment averages out at a Level 2b.
This year is the last that schools are required to assess according to levels. Only Year 2 and Year 6 have continued to use levels as a way to assess children’s attainment. It’s not clear yet how the Department for Education will publish from 2016 assessment data for children at the end of Key Stages 1 and 2.
