The Tables show how the KS2 results of pupils in each maintained school have changed over the past four years. Bar charts show the aggregates of the three percentages of pupils achieving Level 4 or above and Level 5 in the English, mathematics and science tests in each of the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
The Level 4 and above aggregate is calculated as follows:
| No of pupils achieving L4+ in English | + | No of pupils achieving L4+ in maths | + | No of pupils achieving L4+ in science | x 100 | = | Aggregate (to the nearest whole number) |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | |||||
| No of eligible pupils in English | No of eligible pupils in maths | No of eligible pupils in science |
The Level 5 aggregate is calculated as follows:
| No of pupils achieving L5 in English | + | No of pupils achieving L5 in maths | + | No of pupils achieving L5 in science | x 100 | = | Aggregate (to the nearest whole number) |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ | |||||
| No of eligible pupils in English | No of eligible pupils in maths | No of eligible pupils in science |
What the year on year comparisons tell you
| From the bar charts, you can see the history of a school's KS2 results, and whether they have stayed at the same level over time. Because each year group is made up of different pupils, with different prior attainment and other characteristics, results may fluctuate from year to year for reasons to do with the pupils rather than the school. Small fluctuations from year to year are unlikely to be significant, particularly if the school's year group is small. |
