Pupil Attainment at Key Stage 1 by Gender and Residence in England, 2004-2008

2004/05 to 2007/08 teacher assessment results for pupils in maintained schools in England, including percentages achieving Level 2 or above in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The dataset, sourced from the Department for Children, Schools and Families, provides breakdowns by pupil gender and is based on pupil residence rather than school location.

• Compare regional educational attainment across different geographies (LSOA, MSOA, LAD, GOR) based on the pupil residence data.
• Track trends in Key Stage 1 performance over the specified time period (2004/05 to 2007/08).
• Calculate average point scores per pupil for benchmarking schools or regions.

Strengths

• Provides geographic breakdowns at five levels from LSOA to National.
• Explicitly states data is based on pupil residence, offering a different analytical perspective.

Limitations
