Percentage of schools below the KS2 floor standard
(4292)
Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage pf of schools not reaching the key stage 2 floor standard.
Schools will be deemed to be underperforming if their performance is below the 'floor standard'. In 2014, a school is below the minimum expected level if:
a) fewer than 65% of pupils at the end of key stage 2 achieve level 4 or above in all of reading, writing and mathematics; and b) the proportion of pupils making two levels of progress in reading, writing or mathematics are all below the median percentage for all state-funded mainstream schools.
Results from the grammar, punctuation and spelling tests are not taken into account in the floorstandard. Only state-funded mainstream schools with 11 or more eligible pupils are included in the floor standard calculations. Closed schools, including those which closed during the academic year and reopened as a different type of school (for example, a sponsored academy), are excluded from the floor standard. Schools which do not have a figure published for each of
the above measures (for example, where the figure is suppressed due to maladministration) are also excluded.
Figures for 2014 are not comparable to those for 2013 due to a change in the floor standard. In 2013, a school was below the minimum expected level if:
a) fewer than 60% of pupils at the end of key stage 2 achieved level 4 or above in all of reading, writing and mathematics; and b) the proportion of pupils making two levels of progress in reading, writing or mathematics are all below the median percentage for all state-funded mainstream schools.
In addition, in 2013 schools which became a converter academy during the academic year were treated as a closed school and so excluded from the floor standard calculations. For 2014 onwards, these schools are treated as continuing schools and included in the floor standard calculations. The increase in the attainment threshold will have a considerable impact on the number of schools below the floor. However, the change to the treatment of converter academies will have only a minimal impact on the number of schools below the floor.
