PERFORMANCE

School league tables showing the performance of 11-year-olds at primary schools across the country are published by the Department for Education. Pupils are assessed in reading, writing, and maths, with at least 65 % of pupils required to meet the expected standard in the three areas. In separate measures published, a school will also be considered to be above the floor standard if pupils achieve sufficient progress scores in all three subjects, namely at least -5 in English reading, -5 in mathematics and -7 in English writing.
