Just over three-quarters of year 6 pupils (76 per cent) achieved the expected levels in reading, writing and maths according to the latest key stage 2 assessments. The 537,800 11-year-olds who took the tests in May this year will have begun their secondary school careers this month. Broken down, 86 per cent of pupils achieved expected levels in reading, 85 per cent in maths and 83 per cent in writing. The latest results also include the new spelling, punctuation and grammar tests, and show that 74 per cent of 11-year-olds reached the Level 4 benchmark – although one third of boys missed this target compared to just one fifth of girls.
