Percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard at the end of key stage 2 in reading, writing and mathematics - pupils from non-disadvantaged backgrounds (6106) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of pupils in state funded primary schools meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics (RWM) at key stage 2 (KS2) from backgrounds not known to be disadvantaged.
The expected standard in reading and mathematics is a scaled score of 100 or above. The expected standard in writing is a teacher assessment of 'working at the expected standard' (EXS) or 'working at greater depth within the expected standard' (GDS).
The new expected standards were designed to be broadly similar but are not equivalent to an old level 4b. The performance descriptors, used by teachers in the standard setting process, were developed with an understanding of the performance of pupils working at level 4b. However, given the curricula differences, there is not a direct equivalence between the new expected standard and level 4b in previous years and data pre-2016 are not directly comparable.
From 2015, disadvantaged pupils include those who are registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, children looked after by a local authority and children who left care in England and Wales through adoption or via a Special Guardianship or Child Arrangements Order.
All children in state funded primary schools, including most academies and free schools, are required to take part in key stage 2 national curriculum assessments before they more to secondary school. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
