2016 Outcomes In 2016, the new more challenging national curriculum was assessed, following its introduction in 2014. Because of the changes, figures for 2016 are not comparable with those from earlier years.

2016 Floor Standard The floor standard is the minimum standard for pupil attainment and / or progress that the government expects schools to meet. To be above the floor, the school needs to meet either the attainment or all of the progress elements.  at least 65% of pupils meet the expected standard in English reading, English writing and mathematics; or  the school achieves sufficient progress scores in all three subjects. At least -5 in English reading, -5 in mathematics and -7 in English writing. NB: No school will be confirmed as being below the floor until December 2016 when schools’ performance tables are published
