Many primary schools use termly tests to track the attainment of pupils. Often these are created by commercial test providers.
Results tend to be reported as standardised (or age-standardised) scores.
But how much do results in these tests vary from term to term?
To answer this question we’re going to use data that schools have loaded into the FFT Aspire Pupil Tracking system.
We use results in commercial tests from the 2021/22 academic year supplied by 700 primary schools who use the system regularly. We only consider results in tests that are reported as standardised scores.
