We have high aspirations for all of our children. And we have always known that what they learn at primary school makes a real difference to their future prospects; however, some new data in a government report published yesterday makes this even clearer.
Nationally, in 2019, of those who did not achieve the expected standard in key stage 2...
|
...only 21% achieved a pass (grade 4 or above) in English Language. This is only odds of 5/1 that a child* will achieve an English GCSE pass. So, for every 5 children* that take it - only 1 child* passes 🙁 * that did not achieve the expected standard in key stage 2. |
...only 14% achieved a pass (grade 4 or above) in Maths. This is only odds of 7/1 that a child* will achieve a Maths GCSE pass. So, for every 7 children* that take it - only 1 child* passes 🙁 * that did not achieve the expected standard in key stage 2. |
Everything that our children learn, from Reception to Year 6, will be crucial in helping them to meet the expected standard.
