2. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.
