Reaching a high level of attainment To meet the criteria for achieving a high level of attainment in reading, writing and maths, a child would need to score more than 110 in all three subjects. Nationally this was 5% for combined high level of attainment in reading, writing and maths although the outcome was higher for each subject individually. % children reaching a higher level of Reading, writing and maths combined attainment Exe Valley Federation 3% Newton St Cyres 0% Average progress Average progress is calculated by looking at at Keystage 1 and working out how their progress children’s outcomes compares with other children who had similar outcomes when they were in Year 2. A positive score means that a child made more progress than other children who started in the same place and a negative score means that they made less progress than children with similar starting points. The changes to the curriculum mean that for the next four years it will be difficult to assess this accurately because there have been so many changes. The DfE have said that they are only concerned about scores of more than -5 in reading and maths and -7 in writing and although we would like to have positive figures for progress, we recognise that this is going to be difficult to achieve until the curriculum and assessment systems are in line at Keystage 1 and Keystage 2. A score of 0 means that on average the children have made expected progress in reading, writing and maths.
