This blogpost is based on data collected via our 2023 Early Results Service for primary schools. By uploading their EYFS, Phonics, KS1 and KS2 assessments, Aspire schools can access an early 2023 national analysis of their results before the end of term. There’s still time to take part – the next submission window for KS1 closes on Friday 7 July!
Over 1,400 primary schools kindly shared their 2023 Key Stage 1 data, including teacher assessments and test scaled scores, with us. Of those, over 1,000 previously shared their data with us last year.
We have also been collecting absence data from schools since the start of the pandemic. The 1,400 schools also supplied us with absence data for the 2023 academic year.
Let’s first take a look at teacher assessments in reading, writing and maths.
We use data from the 1,017 schools for which we have data for both 2022 and 2023. Attainment at these schools was very close to the national average in 2022.
