Footnotes

  1. Includes pupils who reached the expected standard in all of reading, writing and maths. The expected standard in reading and maths is a scaled score of 100 or above. The expected standard in writing is a teacher assessment of 'working at the expected standard' or 'working at greater depth'.
  2. Includes all schools with pupils eligible for assessment at key stage 2. Participation by independent schools is voluntary, therefore figures include results from independent schools that chose to submit data and met the requirements for assessment and moderation.
  3. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  4. Figures for 2025 are based on provisional data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
