Sats 2011: all the KS2 results listed and mapped - The Guardian (blog)

How many children can read, write and add up at the level they're supposed to? The latest figures show that 67% can - which leaves a third of children left out and one in ten boys leaving primary school with the reading age of a seven-year-old.

National curriculum tests, or 'Sats' as they are otherwise known, are taken by primary to secondary school students. They are split into different stages: Key Stage 1 (ages 7 to 8), 2 (ages 10-11) and 3 (13-14). This May, 554,000 11-year-olds took the exams, which - alongside teacher assessments of the year's performance - aim to assess 'the three Rs': reading, writing and mathematics.

The latest figures from the Department for Education are for Key Stage 2. May's exams saw a higher percentage of students reaching the expected level of 4 all round.

The percentages of children reaching level 4 - the expected level of attainment - are:
• English 81% (86% for girls, 77% for boys)
• Reading 84% (87% for girls, 80% for boys)
• Writing 75% (81% for girls, 68% for boys)
• Maths 80% (80% for girls, 80% for boys).

But when you look at subjects combined - which is how children take them, after all - they show that only 67% reach level four in combined Reading, writing and maths. But, bad as that figure is, it has improved - which is something you might not realise from some of the coverage today. This shows what's happened to those scores over time:

Girls v boys

Girls do better than boys - a trend that is consistent over time. And the biggest gap is in combined reading, writing and maths.

Results where you live

We've extracted the data by local authority so you can see how the situation varies across the country. It shows a huge contrast in some subjects, and you can explore our interactive map below:

Here are some of those regional results:

• Richmond upon Thames has the best English result for boys, with 86% achieving level 4. The borough also has 93% of girls reaching that level. Cheshire East is level pegging with Richmond on Reading, where 88% of boys reach level 4
• The lowest reading figures for boys are on the Isle of Wight and in Rotherham, with only 67% and 69%, respectively, reaching level 4
• The Isle of Wight also has the lowest scores for writing - only 55% of boys and 76% of girls reach level 4
• It's also the worst place for maths - 68% of boys reaching level 4 and 70% of girls. That's followed by Medway, in Kent, with 72% and 74%.
• The best place for maths is Richmond upon Thames, again, followed by Trafford
• Derby, Nottingham and Manchester have the highest percentages of boys below level 2 in English. 11% of boys and 6% of girls in each borough fit into that category

Teachers v Sats

There are two sets of data released, just to confuse things. The results of the Key Stage 2 tests - or Sats, and the teacher assessments. One of the big questions is whether teachers will assess children as strictly as the tests. The results show that there is only a bit of variation - at level 5 English, teachers assess children higher than the Sats tests do - and the same is true at level 4 maths.
