Proportion of children meeting expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined matches 2022 figure of 59%
The academic attainment of primary schoolchildren in England remains significantly lower than before Covid according to the latest Sats results, which are virtually unchanged from last year.
The proportion of 10 and 11-year-old pupils meeting the government’s expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined remained at 59%, exactly the same as 2022 results, which saw a sharp fall from 65% in 2019, prior to the pandemic.
