Coronavirus (COVID-19) school and college accountability 2021/22 (DfE)

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, most exams and assessments did not take place in the 2019/20, or 2020/21 academic years.

The government announced that it would not publish school level results data (also commonly referred to as school and college performance tables) in autumn 2020 or autumn 2021, and that this data would not be used to hold schools to account.

Results data from 2020/21 will not be used in school level performance measures in future years.

It will not be possible to calculate KS1-KS2 progress measures for academic years 2023/24 and 2024/25. This is because there is no KS1 baseline available to calculate primary progress measures for these years due to Covid-19 disruption.

ATTAINMENT AND PROGRESS DATA

Below is a summary of key stage data for EYFS (Reception), Phonic Check (Years 1&2), Key Stage 1 (Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 6) for the academic year 2022/23.

EYFS 

Good Level of Development (GLD) indicates that a pupil has achieved at least the expected level in the early learning goals (ELGs) in the three prime areas of learning (personal, social and emotional development; physical development; and communication and language) plus the ELGs in the specific areas of mathematics and literacy.

The Early Years Foundation Stage profile was significantly revised in September 2021. It is therefore not possible to directly compare 2021/22 assessment outcomes with earlier years.

* The mean number of early learning goals children were at the expected level for. The maximum number would be 17, if every child was at the expected level for every early learning goal. This measure replaces the average point score measure from previous years.

YEAR 1 PHONIC CHECK 

KS1 RESULTS 2023

These are the Key Stage 1 attainment statistics. Assessments were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. 

These statistics cover the attainment of year 2 pupils who took assessments in summer 2023. These pupils experienced disruption to their learning during the pandemic, particularly Foundation Stage. 

KS2 RESULTS 2023 

These are the Key Stage 2 attainment statistics. Assessments were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. 

These statistics cover the attainment of year 6 pupils who took assessments in summer 2023. These pupils experienced disruption to their learning during the pandemic, particularly at the end of year 3 and in year 4.
