From 2004/05 to 2007/08, this dataset contains National Curriculum Key Stage 1 teacher assessment results for pupils in maintained schools in England. It includes the total number of eligible pupils, percentages achieving Level 2 or above in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics, and average point scores, broken down by pupil gender. The data is sourced from the Department for Children, Schools and Families and is aggregated by school location across multiple geographic levels.

Use Cases

• Mapping educational outcomes by school location based on the geographic breakdowns to Middle Layer Super Output Area, Local Authority District, and Government Office Region.
• Tracking trends in Key Stage 1 performance over time based on the data covering four academic years from 2004/05 to 2007/08.
• Comparing subject-specific performance in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics based on the percentage of pupils achieving Level 2 or above.

Strengths
